Hi again Ron, On another topic, you posted: > Or why does Linux only require one cold reboot for > every 10 or 20 of Mac OS 9? My experience has been that Linux audio requires 10 to 20 times as many reboots as Windows audio, the opposite of all other applications. The Linux kernels themselves, if left alone, are very stable. > Well, by stating it you are implying that it is your > opinion. My experience is different.

Please don't misrepresent it. > Linux is far beyound a research platform. Nor did I say that it was solely a research platform. It is much more well-suited for research than Windows. IMO there is no competition there, not only in audio but in other fields as well. Since 1997, I've used exclusively Linux for everything but audio, finances, and digital photography. Prior to that, I used it at work at a semiconductor company, so I completely agree with you on that point. Regards, Dave.
