I use Debian Sid on 2 different machines, identical distros, identical version of Hugin. On one machine, Hugin works flawlessly. On the other, Hugin silently dies whenever I attempt to preview a panorama. The difference? Display hardware! The one where it works has NVidia video, the one where it crashes has Intel video. Hugin is multiplatform (Linux, Windows, OS X) and has more developers, but even they're having problems keeping the OS X release up-to-date. Sorry, doesn't help the problem of audio software and hardware. Have a friend who has tried 3 different hardware systems and 2 different versions of Windows (XP and 7) trying to get his commercial pro audio software to work reliably. He's about given up. I've had some success using live Linux audio distros like Musix on different hardware (including one of the systems my friend's commercial pro audio software had problems with). I think Musix is created by educators, perhaps they could work with you to produce a live CD/DVD that would allow students to boot their home computers and work and save things onto a thumb drive that they could take back and forth between home and school? -- David gn...@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
