After Andre's ravings about the preemptible kernel patches by Robert Love

My only trouble is a full machine lockup when Win4Lin shuts down.

I'm looking for a sound editor(s) that can do the following:

Reason here is that I play guitar and slowing down riffs to learn them

VNC is good, and more easily cross-platform than X. ie, you can use VNC
across X, Windows, MacOS, etc.
... whilst still using Free Software, and not dealing with the nuttiness of
some X servers on other platforms.
That said, XFree86 for Windows seems pretty darn cool.

The problem is more likely that he doesn't have ncurses-dev installed.
