Hi
Well for me I'm 100% linux on my Audio as you dont miss what you havn't 
had!!
As I'm using 64studio all the time I expect things like printers and 
OOffice to
not work as it's not core to sound production.
A pain yes,  but well better than trying to open closed windoze!!

Pople here in Wales are very impressed by what we are doing on Linux re 
DAW and aree itching to have a go.

When we got the 3 tunes into the charts on some website ( No 1 - 3 and 
7!) they were amazed to learn its all done on Linux
Cheers
Bob
