I will 3rd (or 4th?) the Agnula recommendation. I had originally installed ccrma (which is fantastic for those who want to just get up and go!) but I wanted to do a lot of stuff with PD that wasn't yet supported under ccrma, but was supported under debian out of the PD CVS. I installed a base woody system, then set all of my apt stuff to testing, and used the Agnula disks to get the sound stuff set up. After some initial X and mouse problems with agnula (now being tracked in their bug databse) I was good to go. > I'm not sure when AGNULA 1.1 will be ready for release but > I'm sure it's Real Soon Now. ;) January 15th according to some recent posts of the Agnula list. > Next month's column for the Linux Journal On-line will briefly > describe my experiences with PlanetC and AGNULA. Cool. By the way Dave GREAT article in CMJ. I just got back from vacation, checked the mail, and saw the cover! Having just jumped into the Linux world I was happy to see the article. (A month or 2 to late for me, but I'm sure it will help a lot for others!) m.
