Nicely put. May I quote you ?

Btw, I've been running 64 Studio 2.1 since it appeared. It's installed 
on an AMD 3200+ in 64-bit mode. Flash is a bit hit or miss here, 
sometimes it works perfectly, other times I have to restart Mozilla to 
get it happening. But alas, it doesn't work with JACK running (no 
audio). Ditto for Skype.

However, this box (Big Black) is primarily a production machine, so I 
really don't give a hoot whether it supports Flash/Skype/Facewash or 
whatever happens to be the audio/video comm-app du jour. I have a second 
machine for those pleasures. Big Black kicks ass running Ardour, JAMin, 
JACK-Rack, etc., and that's what I need it for.

Ah yes, return with us now to Studio Dave and the thrilling days of the 
task-dedicated UNIX workstation. Man, if my Skool gets any Older I'll 
have to retire soon. ;)

Best,

dp
