GNU/Linux moves at its own pace. It's not as fast or flashy as a commercial
OS. But let's not forget who, in the end, won the race in tortoise v. hare.

I dunno. In some ways the Ubuntu I just loaded is ahead. For example, this
Add/Remove programs that just searches the net and goes "Yep, here's all
the free options" and lets you select one for automatic download, instead
of download.com then downloading then installing... see that's thinkin'.
On the other hand, Firefox has crashed on me a couple of times, and the Add/Remove
programs doesn't always want to work for me...
....but they're catching up fast.
Cheers,
Kim.

It's sample accurate if you slave another app to Paris ADAT sync.

It's gotta' be a very expensive box to come anywhere close to what Paris can
do.

My antics are a direct result of my having read innumerable posts here by
folks like Dedric, LaMont, Brian T., Aaron, Thad, Dave, Neil, John and
numerous others and therefore my pain is all their fault.

The core of both Ubuntu and Debian is apt, the package management system.
When using either of those distros one doesn't even think about 'installing
software.' It's what finally made me settle on Debian. RPM and the various
GUIs that sit on top of it was always a hassle for me. With Debian every
day I boot up my machine I open a terminal window and type 'apt-get update'
and the apt-get dist-upgrade' and even though I'm using 'testing' Debian
I've never had a single solitary problem.
I honestly and truly believe the biggest problem with adoption of linux is
(the lack of) porn (out of the box). When a friend asks me to set up a machine
I do Ubuntu and get all of the win32 codecs installed and I've never had
a complaint. However, that's not exactly the kind of call to which many will
answer, 'All the porn, none of the security issues!' Maybe someday someone
will have the stones and do Ubuntu Porn just like Ubuntu Studio.
