Re: Asus Eee

In a digital world using a thin client is a nice idea. But if you use
a remote X session, won't the tech room loose control? Unless you do
some crazy setup like having the tech room run in one user and the
speaker room run in a second user, and the tech room manipulating the
speaker room's user audio through jack.

I think we can use export display to use an app through the network and
using the same session.

Netjack looks like it may fit the bill:

Great! I was searching for an opensource solution for hi-quality audio
networking over IP!

I never did this, but starting an X session on thin client connected to a
server running Ubuntu Studio seems possible.

So you can put your server in an other room with your soundcard connected to
a patch in your studio, and control all this via the eeePC.

What would be the benefit compared to having the server in your
studio? The only one I can think of is less ambient noise to masterize
better, but for this the best solution has always been passing the
peripherals cables though a silence box or similar.

Re: Asus Eee

2007-12-18 Thread David Nadasi
Ok, noise reduction is a point, and it's true that peripherals cables era
more reliable on short distances.

I was talking about radio broadcasting.
In a radio studio, you've got the technician room, with mixdesk, turntables,
and a PC with automation system (as
Rivendellhttp://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/). There is also
the speaker room with mics and the on the air light.

With a thin client in the speaker room, the speaker could play and stop some
audio materials, read some listeners chat, etc... In the same time, the
technician could manage the automation system in the background on the main
box.

The radio idea is nice, you mention the talker/dj scenario. Where you
have in the speaker room somebody talking and playing music/ads/etc.
Or even the ones where the speaker room launches funny noises but the
tech room has the control of the outcome.

In a digital world using a thin client is a nice idea. But if you use
a remote X session, won't the tech room loose control? Unless you do
some crazy setup like having the tech room run in one user and the

speaker room's user audio through jack.

Can you plug stuff from different users in jack?

am wondering if a simple

xandros seems to be debian based
but the question is whether we could really apt-get many thangs or not

i'd rather install a X-less-CUI-Slackware to it if possible
is the disk partition custumizing available via fdisk?

my another thought is to keep the os as is far happy ordianary thangs
in net-life
but keeping a bootable USB-PEN to boot @ Eee and other small machines..
maybe p:d?
if [EMAIL PROTECTED] is available ... again that's nicer .. then custumized
