Hello, in Weimar and Berlin I noticed quite a few people are using small laptops/netbooks.
I'm in the market for a netbook now and want to run linux w/ the usual suspects for experimental electronic music (Pure Data, SC, Ardour, Processing etc.) Softwarewise Im currently looking at pure:dyne as the operating system. But I'm open to suggestions. What would you recommend for the hardware? Last time I checked some products was in 2009. I suppose battery life has improved, CPUs became a tad faster and linux runs a bit smoother on such a thing. What I really barely can cope with is the glossy screens, but I'm afraid there's no way around it. I'm planning to connect a USB-audio interface, so Firewire is not an issue (which Jack has troubles with, IIRC). Very nice to have would be a built in modem w/ Sim-card slot for mobile data transfer. (Linux supported of course). What would you suggest? Thanks a lot, Michael. -- keep your ears open: http://blauwurf.at http://soundcloud.com/noiseconformist _______________________________________________ Pd-ot mailing list Pd-ot@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-ot
