Hello all,
I'm a major contributor and volunteer at Mandrake, and I've been working
to get Mandrake up-to-date and more complete with regard to audio
applications, so I thought this would be a good place to come for
advice. If you have a few minutes, please answer any of the following
questions you can. Doing so will help make Mandrake 9.1 the best audio
distribution on the planet...
1. If Mandrake 9.0 is your primary distribution for audio, what is your
#1 complaint?
2. If Mandrake 9.0 is not your primary distribution for audio, why not?
What is missing or what has turned you away?
I'm not a Mandrake user. I'm happy with our package repository,
though I think that Mandrake does a wonderful job!
3. What audio applications are we missing (please check current list
provided below, as many new apps have been added since 9.0)?
Some are already mentioned, so the others will be:
KGuitar (http://kguitar.sourceforge.net
Notedit (http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html)
Denemo (http://denemo.sourceforge.net/)
Ecamegapedal (http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecamegapedal/)
athenaCL (http://www.flexatone.com/athena.html)
zynaddsubfx (http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net)
4. What thee audio applications do you consider the most
valuable/important? (do not include alsa, jack, mixers, or ogg/mp3
players/encoders)
Audacity
Sweep
Rosegarden-4
amSynth
Besides, I would notice that a kernel capability to run jack enabled
software not as root should be hopefully included as well.
Thanks very much. I appreciate your time, and please
let me know
personally if there is anything else I can do to make Mandrake more
audio-friendly.
Please, don't repeat AGNULA beta's mistake - no obsolete packages,
if you can.
Let Pixel be with you ;)
