Hi, 2007/2/19, sevol <sevol@xxxxxxxx>:> Your setup looks nice. My Firepod sits in a 4U 10.5 inch (26.7 cm) deep> FX/Amp rack, making it a somewhat more compact arrangement. But your> laptop drawer & the extra space for cables at the back seems pretty> handy (plus, that extra space perhaps allows for a little more heat> dissipation, too), so, your setup might be a better choice. Thanks for> the photos & info. To be clear: I will use the space behind the devices only to store thecables that are connected to the devs... I don't even want to imaginewhat a totally loose cable with two big XLR-jack will do to thedevices in a rough transport... And I need the cables in the drawer to shock-protect the laptop :-)

Yeah, I totally ignored that part because it was so easy. Mydistribution of choice is gentoo. I activated preemption and use therealtime-lsm method to get realtime-rights. Otherwise almost all theapps I use are straight from the (instable) gentoo tree. Only forfreebob I had to create my own ebuild so I can cleanly (un-)install inthe system... Before I forget: the laptop is a amd64 (running in 64bit ;-) while myhome-pc is an intel P4. Both run equally stable. (ardour crashes afterstopping a recording if I save the session during the pre-roll...)
I can't even guess what it feels like to have things working correctly.> Any help would be...well, helpful & much appreciated.
I can understand your situation. I tried to run my firepod on windowslast weekend. What a mess! Have fun, Arnold -- visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/---Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklichverhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner undeinen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.
