studio-to-go!

Aaron and all,

Any experience with this?

It looks like a great way for Windows users to
get on the Linux bandwagon...

I recall Rosegarden getting excellent reviews and these are the same
people that developed it.

I find it especially intriguing that one can boot it in another OS. It doesn't do anything I can't already do anyway, but I might give it a spin.

Cheers,
Jon

Carl, I've heard about this, it does look interesting, and I'm all for
user-friendly ways for people new to Linux to give it a try.

One thing I can say from experience--stay away from DeMuDi (Agnula), a Debian
based distro. I found it very un-customization friendly, and had problem with
hardware recognition for my old Toshiba Portege laptop, particularly with
recognizing my legacy Yamaha opl3-sa2 card that comes in the Toshiba.

I recently switched back to Slackware, (I use it about 5 years ago), which is
hardcore unix-y flavored Linux, and a third party distributes pre-compiled
audio packages for it from www.audioslack.com. Margo Schulter also uses
Slackware. I should have never left Slackware, it's the best Linux flavor
I've tried, and I've done Suse, Mandrake, Beehive, and Gentoo as well. I've
avoided Red Hat, although some swear by it. I was under the spell of BeOS for
a time as well, but gave up when I realized how stuck and un-actively
developed it was. I knew I would have to wait years for OpenBeos to be done,
and I couldn't hold on any longer. It's too bad, because BeOS rocked really
hard.

My picks for a Linux distro in order:

1.Slackware
2.Gentoo
3. Suse
4. Mandrake
5. Beehive
6. DeMuDi

I'm curious to hear about anyone's experiences with studio-to-go. Have you
also heard of ubuntu linux? Or dynebolic, another bootable Linux multimedia
OS on a disk?

I'm really curious about Ubuuntu. I'ts been getting a ton of hype lately. I
remains skeptical, but am happy to see project like this blossom. It's good
for the Linux community.

Best,
Aaron.

Rosegarden has one really dope feature that other
sequencers don't have, I can take my notation and
export a csound score file, a very, very dope feature.
