Hi all,
Oh...FWIW.... I LOVE you guys! :)
Meanwhile,
I would like a list of preferred apps from anyone who responds. If you
had an Audio LiveCD you could pop in your machine and boot it up, what
would you most prefer to see there?
I have sampled them all recently and while they look great, work
reasonably well and have lots of stuff in them application wise, I'm not
convinced the simplicity is as honed as it can be.
1. What are your top 10 critical "must have" audio apps?
JACK
SuperCollider
Ingen (when it's finally usable - damn!!)
Ardour
Audacity
jack-rack
seq24
rosegarden
LADSPA/DSSI/LV2 plugins
It's only 9, but what the hell. No particular order btw..
2. What are your top 5 utility apps?
vi
sed
less
grep
find
and i have to add bash, make and python to this list, too...
3. Considering a mid powered box, (say 1800mhz, 1
gig ram, etc) what
is your favorite WM or desktop?
KDE (even on my 800mhz 384megs thinkpad), but i can wrk with prettymuch
everything from ratpoison to gnome...
4. How many people *don't* have at least a DVD
read only drive that
you can boot from?
I do have a DVD drive i can boot from. I dislike downloading DVD iso's though,
because they are so big :). Two persons i know don't have a DVD drive (one of
them doesn't have _any_ bootable media besides his hard drive though. Man
that was a hassle getting the OS on there)
Regards,
Flo
