To be honest I only burned data cd's in Linux so far (oops! there goes my whole argument down the drain :-), but from what I've seen with XCD-roast and Gnome Toaster, it shouldn't be that far-fetched at this point. I agree, there are a lot of holes to be plugged, but even in this state, linux sure beats crapple and winhose experiences. > If i *did* believed that, i would be sitting here at 4am working on > developing apps that can bring ease and power to working with gobs of > audio data, recording it, editing it, arranging them, mixing and > processing them :) Well, if this makes you feel better, it's 6 am over here, and I am finally getting ready to crash (although for all the wrong reasons) :-). Keep me posted when you start shipping those linux machines of yours loaded with audio stuff, so that I can get my studio to purchase a couple :-) Ico P.S. Any thoughts as to what distribution will use the linux machines you'll be selling? Also, any plans to soup 'em up with a powerful video editing capabilities?
