I have way too many projects going which is the reason I read your carefully put together information so quickly. I've come across all the ideas you presented at different point since I've been working with Linux/Audio. It just boils down to having too many choices (what a great problem to have). I would love to have several distrobs in a multi booting system. I think the reason I've invested so much time with SuSE is that I've already Invested so much time in learning it's ways. It's getting to the point were (maybe) I've finally found the all around set-up that works for all situations. The problem is compounded by the fact that I'm (not) running the system (I) want to run because my (ultimate) goal is to be able to set up all this great stuff for other people. And everyone I know runs Windows. I need to be able to present them with what they know. I just spent 2 days tweeking KDE and shutting off any unnessesary services and configuring Konqueror to be able to take advantage of the (many) features without creating a distracting mess. I almost gave up and went back to FVWM2. But I've invested this much time in having one system that works all around. If I'm serious about setting up a audio workstations (for people that have not known anything other than Windows), then it will have to be an effective "general use" computer *and* have a solid, stable recording environment. I say that because most people aren't oriented like any of us on this list. I don't even know anyone that's even heard the term... "Duel-booting". Once I acheive these goals, then maybe I will put my focus to just setting up dedicated audio workstations. Then I will have FluxBox, or FVWM2 that will boot right into the workstation. Thanks again, Rocco
