I would be fine with a X free Linux just using a ncurse 'GUI' for a MIDI sequencer (no soft synth) + hard disk recorder :D. Usually I'm not running any email client when I'm 'playing' music and I don't wish 100 deamons running that protect me against all the other non-existing users and Internet attacks. There are no other users, there's no Internet, there's just the wish to have a tool for music. I always wounder about arguments regarding to multitasking and security. My home studio computer isn't an Internet server for 100 people and there's no security needed. Arguments that producing music might be less good, but OTOH I can produce music (less good) + use the same computer as a databank for 100 other users at the same time, while having a 100% security against any attack are unimportant to me. ;) Ralf _______________________________________________ 64studio-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel
