Hi there :) Better later than never... just wanted to let you know about the existence of a live dvd/usb that, I hope, may interess some linux audio adictos here :) "io GNU/Linux is a live system that turns almost any computer into a professional multimedia workstation. It includes a real-time enabled kernel and a great collection of free software for all uses (sound, video, graphics, internet and more)." http://sourceforge.net/projects/io-gnu-linux/ It's based on Debian SID and built whith the Debian Live tools. JACK2 combined with Ladish/Laditools is used as default sound server (you may need first to set up phonon to prefer JACK over Alsa for KDE related apps) Don't hesitate to give it a try and for sure, any feedback more than welcome. Hope this helps, cheers ;) MK
