Hi,
For a while I've been wondering just how many people
are using Linux for music performance, and what kind
of music. This led me to the idea of doing a survey on
this list to see what we come up with. The results
will be published on Mstation.org
Please email your replies to me. Here we go ...

ken restivo
website:

Linux distro and addons:
Debian Sid with a few
customized packages. Details here: http://www.restivo.org/projects/asus/system-details

laptop, Novation Remote 61 controller, M-Audio FastTrack Pro interface, Peavy KB4 amp
music genre (roughly):

comments on your setup (how happy you are with it;
i love it! it's been rock-solid reliable and i've used it live since may
2007.
improvements you're thinking of etc.):
i'm building an intel amd64 mini-ITX headless box running 64studio. i'm
using an asus EEE 1000 as a "head" for it, and also as my portable audio editing
and synth patching (and websurfing and emailing) machine.
anything you think is important that hasn't been
asked:
Thanks for putting this survey together!
