I do a lot of audio manipulation (Old Time Radio, CD ripping, etc), and it's nice to see those apps run fast and stable!

I've been running SuSE 9.0 on this box (iCube) since Jan 2004, with Crossover enabling me to run GoldWave, Diamond Cut 5 and 6, TeleChart 2005, and (yep) Windows Media Player 6.4 (easiest way to listen to the CBS all-news radio stations from across the country).
I do a lot of audio manipulation (Old Time Radio, CD ripping, etc), and it's nice to see those apps run fast and stable! There *are* a few quirks one has to put up with, but not having to baby a flaky shambles of an OS, or fend off spyware (much etc) is Just Plain Good.
I also have Linspire 5.0 on my 4-yr old HP laptop, and both Linspire 5.0 and SuSE on the box back in the closet, which is primarily used for archival duties for my music, OTR, and so forth.
I downloaded the beta of SuSE 10.0 last year, but have yet to try it out.
It would be nice to have some way to record my records through my C-Port AD/DA box without resorting to Win98 though! I have not found a distro yet which properly directs the audio from that thing.... This means I am stuck with Win98 when transferring records to digital.
I have been bending everyone's ear for years now, trying to get them to See The Light, and escape the clutches of the Redmond Gang. To date, it seems the only way to get them to change is to do the whole thing for them, presenting them with a complete setup! |
