(though closer now, > with debian unstable +alsa running on an older ppc!) I have SuperCollider 3 server compiled on my Gentoo box. I've been using SC since 2.2. Actually, it is the only piece of commercial software I've ever felt was worth the money. Since it's source code opening and the language and the server separating I haven't done much with it. I'm led to believe the SC language is compiled separately from the server, which I have compiled with JACK support. However, for something as simple as programming a talking robot parrot, I would expect PD to be much more straight forward. -lee
