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

Really this is all a depressing reminder that as
far as Linux has come
over the years people are STILL buying hardware to run Windows on it.
They would rather have a 5% better framerate in some game than support
free software. Is the highest purpose of Linux really just to run
proprietary games and VST plugins using Wine? If so then I'm wasting my
time.
Fortunately there are many of us running 100%/99% Free systems and we're
extremely grateful for the work that you do. No, it isn't wasted. ;)
I think people understandably get very excited about the possibilities
provided by crossover projects and it can be nice to have something to
counter "I bet your Linux box can't do That" with. Personally I might think
about getting excited when manufacturers start bringing out native linux
games. I'm sure the highest purpose of Linux is something to do with the fact
that we don't have to tied down to such a limited perspective.
