Nick,
I'm an assistant network administrator where i work. can you imagine
having to support even a modest network of 40 users with 40 workstations
that all dual boot from windows 9x to Linux Mandrake? given that most
corporate users have only enough working knowledge of their workstations
to nav
How so? My laptop dual boots between Win98 and LM8.1. It has the same
hostname in each boot and uses DHCP to get its networking details in
both cases. If I hadn't told our IT department, I'm not sure they'd have
even realised I'd done it.
Nick.

I think people say linux is harder because they are scared of it. True, it
is not harder to click on the menu and run a program. it is not hard to
install programs (unless you get into dependency cycles, damn RPMS), it is

If you are talking about simply recording a wav file via a soundcard, Linux can do it,
of course.
But it's sure that Linux doesn't have Cubase nor Cakewalk Sonar.YET :-))
