Interesting, I have been thinking that making music (or video, graphics, whatever art form) is another form of development. Many of the Linux DEs are moving more towards a consumer interface role that makes them harder to develop on. An audio computer for recording (audio or midi) or creating sound is really a development machine and probably has similar as a code development machine. Like being able to stuff lots of apps on the same screen, manually set where your audio/midi is going to. Not only are the DEs moving in this direction, but so is the hardware. There is nothing wrong with this as most people who have computers use them as an entertainment centre of some sort. It does make setting a computer up for development more difficult. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
