It works well, although I'm not doing much audio stuff with it yet. I have an Audiophile 2496 card in it and haven't yet figured out how to make the mixer settings for it stick. The problem of Sidux is that updating it can be a very hairy experience, even if you use one of the scripts designed to make sure dependencies are met and packages with known upgrade issues are warned of ... I suppose the best way to update Sidux really is to download the new release and reinstall. Or selectively update only those packages you want to update. Last time I tried upgrading the Sidux on the server, the script proceeded to uninstall KDE3 and install KDE4, then try to reinstall KDE4 versions of the KDE3 apps it had removed. That effort was a massive failure (there were damn few KDE4 versions of my KDE3 apps), leaving me with neither a working KDE4 nor a KDE3. Fortunately, I had imaged the system drive before updating, so I just restored the drive image and was back a working system. Even filtered through Sidux, Debian Sid can sometimes be as unstable as Experimental. ;-) -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
