Hello Austin I tried Mandrake 8.2 --Very easy and quick install. But I spent s few days downloading missing libraries and gave up on it. However with all that audio software loaded on 9.1 finding libraries would be a fair exchange. I had planned on trying redhat Phoebe which I have downloaded, but maybe I'll try Mandrake as well. Where can I get it? ...Al On 28 Jan 2003, Austin Acton wrote: > Hello all, > I'm a major contributor and volunteer at Mandrake, and I've been working > to get Mandrake up-to-date and more complete with regard to audio > applications, so I thought this would be a good place to come for > advice.
