Hi again Ron,
On another topic, you posted:
it's pretty hard to get a linux audio system built for one's specific
hardware and distribution ... in my experience, fedora core offers the
easiest access. even still, it took me *ages* till i could even get
CCRMA up and running. but now that i have ...
my machine hasn't frozen in months ... the only reason i *do* reboot is
because that has been genetically programmed into me by a few years of
Windows use ... i just can't help it. on my current machine, i've never
experienced such stability.
what's more, using ardour and hydrogen is *so* damned easy, and the
shitty music i make sounds *so* much less shitty through linux audio
production than it did on windows.
and, hey - i'm by no means a talented hacker/programmer/whatever ...
the one lasting - and enslaving - legacy from the months of work trying
to get linux audio happening, is that i can't give up the quest ... i'm
constantly putting myself in a position of updating/compiling/patching
etc ... it's sort of like the insane and endless quest for *every* vst
plugin that i succumbed to while using windows (believe me, though, that
was a lot more counterproductive).

Or why does Linux only require one cold reboot
for
every 10 or 20 of Mac OS 9?
My experience has been that Linux audio requires 10 to 20 times as many
reboots as Windows audio, the opposite of all other applications. The
Linux kernels themselves, if left alone, are very stable.
