When will I learn... I think I need to throw out that I do read /., and even post occasionally. But one of my goto guys when I have a problem also plays a pretty mean axe or guitar, and is fluent in both linux and windows. His management/editing/live session software when he is doing the majority of such himself, like for some background for a commercial being produced inhouse at the tv station, is Symphony. I am not personally all that musically inclined, so I don't have an opinion. What little I've done, and none in the last 5 years, such as clipping a pop out of a digitized record, has been done with the linux tools available at the time. The only windows allowed on the premises here are made of glass or delrin. But that thread on /. is best countered by quoting what you used, and a URL to the best of what you've done. I have found some right ear pleasing stuff that way, and the underlying os really is a never mind. Because IMNSHO, the os doesn't matter, its the talent and knowledge of the tool that counts. And linux seems to be blessed with more than enough of that to win most of these fan boy shootouts. So don't run for the exits, play your best stuff instead. In other words, bring enough gun. IMO we do have enough gun. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
