Not that it really belongs in this thread, but I just installed CCRMA
(sort of a linux package to turn Red Hat linux into a DAW) on my Dell
Inspiron laptop (with an RME digiface), and I had no problems what so
ever! (In fact I had a lot more trouble reinstalling the win2k--yes I
know you shouldn't--that I got with the computer.) I can leave no
report on stability or performance though, as I have only tracked a
bit using Ardour. I was anyway very pleasantly surprised that I got it
running so smoothly, after all the talk of Ardour being the hardest
app in history to get running and so on and so forth...
