I guess the title pretty much says it all. Has anyone out there experimented with da shit available for Linux? If so... what do you think? What are your favourite apps? If not, then why not? Most apps have been collected at: http://www.linuxsound.at/ |

You are wasting your time with that two bit operating system, my friend!! *flys the Microsoft flag high* |

I would rather use an opperating system that takes up two bits than one that requires 124g of ram in order to run. |

I heard Linux is really good from many experienced users. For what programs you can't run in Linux you can run them in windows emulators. |

But when you have that much ram - why settle for anything less? ;) |

Well I guess. I just figured some people might want to do something other than run their opperating system with their computers. Say, using the internet, writing music, playing with wordpad. Stuff like that. ;P |

Mac OSX is quite good for audio too. |

Nice one! But you can rest assured that everything I need to run on my computer runs just fine! I appreciate what you're saying, people how are running on borderline specs will find it difficult to run stuff. I think Microsoft minimum spec is the minimum to actually run the OS, without considering the software! |

...but thats about it though! ;) |

Microsoft is just generating more memory hungry applications. More disk space. Consider how fast a modern CPU is... Why is Windows still so slow sometimes? Let me know the answer. To speak some word on the topic (which makes a messageboard against a webchat), I am using Linuux for almost every reason. When I install it, I have everything. I have to play mp3, xine to play movies, i have my favorite word processor (OpenOffice, or emacs), a very sophisticated browser (Mozilla), etc. Sometimes I prefer playing mp3 from the commandline, I can do that too. (mpg123) And all for free against damn shareware, and time evaluated software. |

Windows isn't slow on my mega fast PC! *Go Microsoft - yeah!!!* |

Hey, there are about 15 million other messageboards where they debate PC v Mac, can we keep to the topic? I know that can be sooo hard sometimes. |

"But when you have that much ram - why settle for anything less?" - Jedi Chris I understand your point but I'm a bit of a hobbyist and enjoy trying out new things and seeing what they have to offer. If I was only interested in churning out music, then Windows/Mac is really the only way to go. But I like the Linux community and there's some really interesting stuff going on. I guess I was wondering if anyone else out there had a similar curiousity? |

Fair point! Inverted Whale: Chill out! |

Like I said, I heard you can get emulators for any programs you can't run in Linux. Altho the guy that I got that from wasn't a musically inclinded computer nerd, just a computer nerd. |

is for emulating... Though I don't prefer running Windows apps in Linux. Wasn't the purpose to change to Linux is to get rid of Windows? More and more apps is there to replace the damn Windows monster. |

Thanks Taxidermist but I have to agree with tunemx on this one. If I wanted to run Windows software then I'll just boot Windows. For example, SND is a pretty wicked wave editor which cannot be run on Windows. For those interested: http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2001/10/05/snd_part one.html |
