Hello list members! I'm new to this list and relatively new to Linux. I discovered the power of Linux about 2 years ago and began switching my school district over to it (still migrating). I use only Linux for my servers (web/email/proxy/file/backup/etc.). I've setup two classroom labs using Linux as the desktop. I'd like to look at using Linux in the music lab (not yet created). So I found this mailing list. I'm a keyboardist and MIDI user (since Cakewalk first came out). I want to create a DAW (for my home use as well as for school). I need it to do MIDI and samples and record audio. I'm trying to get a Delta 66 with Omni breakout box for the soundcard, and maybe a Soundblaster Live (w EMU10K chip) for the soundfonts. My questions to the list... 1) Are there Linux equivalents to Reason, Sonar, FruityLoops, Cubase, ProTools, etc.? Really? 2) Is anyone using dual processors (maybe PIII 500 Mhz) successfully? -- =========================================================== Richard K.
