Apropo Linux in the real world, although this may have been already posted (in which case I apologize for the redundancy), the Brittish Computer Music magazine has featured Linux in its recent special edition with a hefty 9-page article. It was mostly filled with praise, coupled with some concerns in respect to the steep learning curve. But overall, very encouraging read. Chalk yet one more up for Linux! Yay!
