I'm confused here!
I made this track wholly on open source systems.
www.web-links.net/ogg
I see no reason for it be known as Linux.
Even burning and printing the CD sleeve was all Open source.
We have to try prove that OS is a viable system for producing good music.
As regards a good drummer just set them up and record them into your
multi track
of choice.

The quotes were in wrong place. Here is a
suggestion:
Music "made with Linux"!
I would like to see less Linux used as a simple recorder
and more Linux used as a virtual studio, every gear being
a software.
Why on earth? People should use the tools they feel comfortable with.
Why limit yourself to "the software which runs on this platform"?
So, if you have a human drummer, try to get him to
use Hydrogen
and drum samples. If you have a commercial hardware synth, try
replace it with Zynaddsubfx. And so on.
I understand there would be some advertisement value to having music
which is "100% produced within Linux", but further than that it is a bit
short-sighted.
Music is made with whatever floats your boat (or the musicians boat).
The more different kinds of boats you can anchor into your harbour
(=platform, here Linux) the more lucrative your harbour is.
If we advertise, "here is music made completely in Linux, nothing else",
it undermines the fact that you can use external hardware effects,
synths, real drums, even some VSTs in Linux. Just like with the "big
boys".
Music is not about the tools. Advertisements can be about the tools,
though.. :)
