>*We use our machines for high end audio and development first, but >it's funny how a well tuned linux box can outpreform a windows box >in that game. hey, i think the hottest use of linux for video gaming right now is in devices like the gp2x .. you wanna see how well linux can do gaming, just get one of these hot little boxes .. http://gbax.com/ i think the old argument 'you cant play games on linux' is well and truly dead, and the argument 'you cant do audio/video on linux' is also, extremely crufty. so for me the answer to the 'best distro for linux to do _blah_' is, and always has been, the one you roll yourself and share with your friends. and to do that you need hardware. right now, machines like the gp2x, cheap, battery powered and powerful, represent some pretty nice linux hardware .. and, get this, headsup you jackd types, usb-audio gadget drivers on this box means you've suddenly got, for a hundred bucks, two 200mhz processors you can apply to synthesis/audio/sound .. oh, and the requisite streaming mass storage, and a bit of 'ram, of course .. ;) for me, the desktop is dead. good riddance! -- ; Jay Vaughan
