Um...they added the icons onto the desktop of standard Ubuntu because Windows users expect to see icons on the desktop? ;-) as I said, it's just a surface scratch, and another page going into more about Ubuntu Studio (i.e. real-time kernel) would have been nice. But it's a start -- a useful signpost on the road, even if it's not 100% accurate. Certainly good enough to get people to take a look. Here's the letter to the editor from the current issue of CM: "Penguin Power" Thank you for the Ubuntu feature in cm129 -- it's quite literally changed the way I make music! I'd never even heard of Linux before, but having been inspired by your tutorial, I'm now 100% Ubuntu Studio-based when it comes to my music-making. I can't quite get my head around the fact that all this software is free, but just as powerful as many commercial systems. I wholeheartedly recommend giving Ubuntu Studio a go to all your readers. You've got nothing to lose, after all, apart from a bit of hard-drive space! ---M.Haines, London. [editor's response] Can't argue with that. To see Linux as nothing more than an operating system for the cash-strapped would be to do it and yourself a disservice. Ubuntu Studio more than holds its own against Windows, OS X and the music apps available for them -- give it a try; you can't fail to be amazed. ---RM -- Cheers, SDM -- a 21st Century Schizoid Man Systems Theory internet music project: <www.systemstheory.net> on MySpace: <www.myspace.com/systemstheory> on Last FM: <www.last.fm/music/Systems+Theory> get "Codetalkers" *free* at <www.mikedickson.org.uk/codetalkers> NP: nothing -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
