I also hope you read it *carefully*, because running VST plugins under Linux is non-trivial (IMO). First, some updated stuff: Kjetil has essentially abandoned his vstserver project in favor of other interesting involvements, so your better bets now are either jack_fst or the dssi-vst bridge. I've recently got the DSSI stuff working under Demudi so I'll add some more material to the VST tutorial Real Soon Now. > I have dozens of VST and VSTi Plugins, and every single one of them works. > > Same here, but inconsistencies abound. Some work under vstserver but not under jack_fst. As I said, I've only started to test VST plugins under DSSI. >This shows that IT IS POSSIBLE.

After all, they're designed for only Windows and the Mac, so I find it more astonishing than amusing (but I'm also coming at it from the advantage of someone who has the jack_fst stuff working).
