J.E.B, it's rather reassuring that I'm not the only guy on the planet using linux live.

UNTIL I discovered the sound of the Bosendorfer. Compromising on the sound is something I am NOT willing to do. I'm a pro musician first, linux afficianado next. So if I can't get linuxsampler to be stable, then I'm switching to OSX and Logic Pro. I'm looking forward to further suggestions on making jack (relatively) crash-proof. Meanwhile, I'm pinning my hopes on AVLinux... (and then Sabayon/UbuntuStudio-RT kernel... but I pray I never have to). Cheers, Guru -- Guru Prasad B.R.
