Hi Dan, I thought I already had answered, but it looks like not.

Did SC go watch SC3? Unfortunately, we couldn't, though we're in contact with their booker.

I just heard of them on a festival we were playing at and so did they, but they finally had to cancel their tour (diseases, if I remind well). I should take an ear, for sure (I'm going to do this just after this mail). > I > got talking to him, he's a really nice guy and he introduced me to a > fantastic modern English prog band who are signed to his label called > thumpermonkey - check 'em out!

Hey! Sure they will find Linux fine. Once again, though several in here (and at other places) find GNU/Linux a not-to-be-used solution, or not in "professionnal places", or not in live, or not by non-geek users, I just think the exact opposite, and what I'm doing right now in Sebkha-Chott or other AMMD projects wouldn't be possible without jack (or perhaps with Live + Max MSP, but I really prefer to use softwares build by people having application developpment skills than crappy PD/Max MSP prototyping by musicians!).
