Hello Mike,
2) I assume linux is a lot better with RAM than
windows, and was curious if
there are any people who are on this list
that actually switched over and could tell me if they really could "do" a
lot more in linux with the same hardware specs than in windows.
Define "do" :)
Does linux have some sort of application RAM limit?
None that I know of. The hardware RAM limit (4GB for 32bit) applies,
of course. Maximum size of a single file depends on the file system.
Swap size should be limited only by your hard disk space.
3) What is everyone's favority sequencer for
linux? I know there are a
couple of them. Which one is your favorite?
I like Rosegarden. QTractor seems promising, and Seq24 is good for basic
work.
4) I have never used linux before. Would it be better
for me to install
linux first and after im comfortable try audio on it?
Check out a Live CD, there are quite a few.
5) I assume there are DirectX adaptor also. Correct?
It depends on what you mean by "adaptor".
There is Wine, an open source implementation of the Windows API which
includes a certain part of the DirectX API (this is work in progress,
but usable).
I wish you a good GNU/Linux experience. :)
