Hi, Just a suggestion, you might want to consider using the rrabuntu install for the OS and then installing the 2.1.2 packages from Alban. See the followign post:
http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/pipermail/rivendell-prog/2012-January/001684.html You already know that Ubuntu 10.04 (the version which RRABuntu is built on) supports your hardware, so that takes the hardware woes out of the equation. Note - i havn't actually done testing on Alban's packages since I've compiled Rivendell 2.1.2 from source, however I suspect they'll work for you. Alternatively you could compile Rivendell 2.1.2 on the RRABuntu install. It'll take a little more work and potentially a little more learning (there are a few articles on the Wiki on how to do this). But you already know that RRABuntu supports your hardware properly, so if you compiled from source you'd have the latest. This is what I've done - compiled from source for both Ubuntu 10.04 and 8.04 (yes - I have some boxes with 8.04 installed) and while it took me a bit to figure it all out, I managed to make it all work. As for the question about the server - if you're not running any of the Rivendell applications on your server (if it is just for MySQL and /var/snd storage) then no - you don't need the full Rivendell installed. As far as I understand it shouldn't need Apache either (assuming you're running Apache on one of your client workstations), although it does not hurt to have Apache installed. On the other hand, if you do install the full Rivendell package on your server and you have a sound card, then the server itself can act as a backup workstation / playout unit should you need it. > > > OK...
