Hi,
I haven't switched to linux yet
but it's totally the way of the future,
you people are closer to the zeitgeist than most.
I want to use my laptop for audio
and Agnula DeMudi sounds like the way to go for that
but i've read Debian has quite a learning curve.
I need a user-friendly computer
for other stuff, the usual things and video production,
and also because my computer-knowledge is limited.
So far I've been considering Mandrake but what i've read here
[http://groundstate.ca/mdkaw] says installing the low-latency
patch will compromise networld security, which is something i
will need. Is there any way around this?
I started using Linux for audio stuff because of this very article. I'm
using MDK 10.0 on my audio box and just starting to explore 10.1.
Mandrake is easy to install and has not failed me albeit Linux is a time
consuming medium for audio, at least getting set up anyway. It does
suffer from some bloat. It is well supported by a large community of
users and also current audio rpm's of all the best apps are always
available.

Ubuntu Linux [http://www.ubuntulinux.org] is Debian and
user
friendly, is there a way to combine Ubuntu with DeMudi?
If the Low-latency kernel from Agnula could be combined with
Ubuntu it could make a great/user-friendly platform for audio
production.
Any advice appreciated
peace
