hi am still making footprints as a linux user started using SC3 @ OSX but prefer using it @ promt mode linux the difficult part of linux is that you have to learn a lot before you run a program if it is not included in the distro the best way for me to learn is to run anyway and learn deeper gradually and a about to make my mind to just wait until things get prepared in the distro since ALSA became the default of Kernel 2.6.x is it likely that JACK will also get included in any of many distros? i will at least learn Planet or DeMuDi ? what about SClang? will i be waiting forever because there is some reason that things cannot be handled that way? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
