DJ,
I am actually surprised that there isn't more attention about linux. I
have been sneaking peeks at some software and projects people have been
attempting with linux and a recording studio. Some are very successful. An
example is a studio in MN that converted totally to linux a while back...
perhaps when we were looking for Paris 3.1... grrrrrr. it irks the sheet
outta me how they promised and high tailed it, but continue to charge...
Actually, the BBB probably would put an end to it if enough people
complained.

Like many here, I am so accustomed to Paris, it is hard to tear myself
away from it.... but I think everyone will agree that we all soon will have
to move on... I am so tired of the proprietary bullshit I could scream.
I'll admit I was one of the first way back when to scramble about and get
rid of that virii infested Pace. I run Paris smoothly on a Pent 4, Win
2000, and without Pace! I can restore, replace motherboard and drives
without headaches... anyway, I am not linux guru, but I think that when the
time comes to put my Paris down... I am gonna consider linux... Just
think... all software is totally free... OMG! If you search around, some of
the linux software projects is actually pretty amazing

Well, I use Linux every day, so there's PLENTY of attention on it where
I work! [COUNTS ON FINGERS] Hmm, I bet there are 300+ Linux boxes in
the company. It really depends what niche you're in how much attention
Linux gets. As I've said before, Linux, great for embedded and server
apps, less than optimal for the desktop. (Yes...it's getting better...
Yes...some day the average computer user might be able to figure it
out... Yes...some day Linux might support all the common hardware...
Yes...some day it might be easy to program GUI apps under Linux...)

If you're referring to Mirror Image Studios, they seem to still be using
a Mac for DP, Logic and Peak. While I applaud efforts such as Lilypond,
Rosegarden and even Ardour, they just can't compete with commercial
products... (Lilypond probably comes closest, but then I think part of
the appeal is that it's not limited to just Linux.)

....cold, dead, fingers... ;) As I alluded to in a different thread,
I'm not going to move on from my old synths either...

Heehee, I can say that about FOSS ("free/open sores software") too!
Favorite quote from the Linux community, "you have the source, you fix
it!" Sorry man, I have a studio to run, I don't WANT to fix it. And
I'm definitely tired of the patch du jour thing...

No, it's not... IMHO, one of the biggest problems with the Linux
community (and pretty much anything GPL) is the *EXPECTATION* that
everything will be free...

Sure, sure, there's some cool stuff out there, but you can find cool
stuff on Windows, OS X, Palm, etc as well. All depends upon what you
want to see...
