Undecided and settles
I have been experimenting and installing every form of linux you could imagine from the latest Suse (SLED) , Pioneer, Puppy, and more - I cannot find a distro that has everything I need in enough ways to give up my Windows XP. That has been my search and still I am at a loss. I was pleased when I got Reaper to work under wine only to have it crash and make my screen go dark. I have recently settled on Xandros 3.0 community edition - this does not replace XP it is only in addition to it. I do say this is a very solid linux distribution , it comes with most apps that I need - my only tests were - does my internet, sound, and streaming radio via shoutcast work - they did so for now this is what I am going with but sadly still using Windows XP for most of my actual work. I am in Xandros using Firefox as I type this but then I will be going to my XP machine to do my actual work. My main gripe is there are no good multitrack music editors like Reaper, Acid, or Magix Music Maker in Linux - there are applications that do these types of things but they are too hard to use and many of them rely on something called Jack that for some reason always gives me major headaches when I try to make it work. Will somebody please make a good multitrack music application for linux that is easy to use!
