Really? no, dunno, no, yes, yes. mostly :) Ardour is a good DAW app in the style of protools, still has a few rough edges but definatly usable: http://ardour.sourceforge.net/ Rosegarden and Muse do MIDI type stuff, but I've not used them. > 2) Is anyone using dual processors (maybe PIII 500 > Mhz) successfully? Yes, they are well supported, but 500MHz will limit how much stuff you can do. I recommend you try RedHat / Fedora + Planet CCRMA http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ which makes installing linux audio software easy. But if your familar with another distro you might want to look at packages based on that. - Steve
