RE: [linux-audio-user] [OT] Switching workspaces or ping-pongingscreens?

I highly recommend getting the two screens, or even three. I run 3 monitors here on windows, and I use Cygwin/X for windows to get a graphical desktop to my linux host. It works fairly well.

Heyall, I'm up to throw my little and only 15" CRT screen in the attic to replace it by a more space-friendly and hum-bucking 17" LCD screen. I heard that running a dual-screen workstation is very fashionable for musicians (or artists): the sequencer on the first and the mixer on the second for example. Thus I was wondering whether I should take advantage of the opportunity and buy two of them at the same time, from the same brand, same model, same series... to avoid being disoriented. But doesn't Linux enable us to switch virtual workspaces with a single key combination? So what's better: flicking keys or ping-ponging eyes? Wrists RSI's or strabism? Cheers, Christian
