I am going to give it a try as soon as i am moved into my new place. Linux does not have all the overhead, spyware, Gadgets like windows has.
I found some interesting software on the net that runs under linux.
Anybody has any experience???
I have used Linux arnothijssen. But it has been awhile since I have used it. The Last Linux I used was Red Hat 6.0 My opinion then was it was not ready for prime time. No matter how hard I tried I could not connect to the Internet using Red Hat 6.0 But Linux has come a 'long' way since then. It is a 'very' stable OS and worth considering to use for your Audio needs. But my advice would be not to use Linux as your sole source for your Music needs. Not at first anyways. Have your Computer Hard Drive 'partitioned' to where you could use Linux 'and' Windows XP, etc. That would be a good way to compare the two OS's also as to their ability, reliability, performance, etc. Or if you have 2 computers use one for Linux and one for Windows XP/MAC OS X, etc. That way if Linux doesn't work out or if you find Linux is not as good of an OS as, let's say, Windows XP or MAC OS X for Audio production and or performance wise, then you have your other Computer or other 'partition' to fall back on if need be.
