I have had to learn a lot to get all the sound stuff going, had to compile alsa-tools (to control Delta Audiophile 2496 card), and still having issues compiling and installing the patched 32bit PAM on 64. I can run Ardour, Rosegarden, Hydrogen and ZynAddSubFX all together and record from external sources. There are people working on 64bit sound distros which may hit the "market" real soon... I have 32bit Demudi on another partition but I use the 64 side 99%. I have no formal computer training since the mid-seventies (punching holes in cards with a paper clip) and got back into 'puters with Debian woody on a freebie 233MHz P2 in July 2003. Took me 3 weeks to do the first install coz I didn't have a clue... Hope this helps, Go 64! Cheers, Norv
