Also wondering what people's experience with 64studio is?

Hi Re 64studio
For sound Apps its rock solid, and still in alpha I believe.
It's a usable system and we have recorded many songs that have done well
in various charts on the net.
So as a DAW I dont thnik you can fault it!
Make sure you have Linux supported sound cards, which is the same for
any Linux DAW.
I use the RME on my Multitrack machine and this is a superb card.
I would reccomend a duel boot system with a 32bit OS for the other stuff
you'll need to do like OPen office, Flash ( websites get very tiring
with a constant naggin from Firefox to install/update flash!) Plus
you'll need to backup and burn DVD's.
Like I said as a DAW you'll find it fast and stable, and the more people
testing the better.
Good luck
Bob

Why can't you run OpenOffice or burn DVDs on a 32 bit system?

I think he is saying that he has difficulty doing these things with 64
bit software - and consequently is recommending a dual-boot set-up with
a 32 bit O/S installed specifically for these tasks.
It sounds to me as though he *can* do these things in 32 bit, but has
difficulty in 64 bit.

If so it implies shockingly bad code. Most 32 bit C applications should
"Just Work" on a 64 bit system.

Sounds like library problems to me.

I am running a 64 bit version of K3B, and 32 bit Openoffice fine on SuSE x86_64.
(There may be a 64 bit version of Openoffice - it is just being not very good at Linux I
take what SuSE provides.)
