aye, your approach does make sense if you were not aware of the automatic mails on fail.

(which obviously isnt the case!) right, sometimes it is really hard to decide which one to use. still i think that running plain "etch" will not get you far, if you want to try things out (in multimedia). if you have a small set of applications (e.g. ardour, a certain Pd-patch) you have to run really stable then you might be fine with etch. but for trying things out (e.g. seeing whether i bug has been fixed in the current Gem CVS version), i would not recommend stable as the platform of choice. things are not so bad, if you are not on stable/vanilla but can add the debian-multimedia repositories; but these are obviously missing from the autobuild machines (for legal reasons). of course "unstable" is usually just that: unstable. but luckily there are things inbetween: testing (lenny) but i have to admit that usually i run lenny+sid mixtures, as some packages (the ones i need), tend to hang in sid forever. finally: kernel-2.6.24 really makes a difference in latency, i can recommend it; however, getting your nvidia-card to run decently with etch or lenny and this kernel is nearly impossible :-( fmgasdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
