This appears to be very useful for those trying the
Karmaic version of Ubuntu....aka 9.10.
I have Mint Helena 32 bit ( which is based on 9.10 ) running and seems very good so far . I plan to look thru this Eva Guide .

After 60 years UNIX (aka linux) still cannot come out of the box and install itself and give a user one double-click access to email
Until it does (which it never will because Linux geeks need to feel so much more superior than everyone else) it will never be THE operating system the world uses.
And I am a software engineer- i KNOW it is superior operating system to windows, technically.

I use Ubuntu for our internet boxes and would use it for my image processing machine if there was a Linux version of Photoshop (WINE doesn't quite hack it for running Windows PS in Linux), but I wish to Hell they'd give up on the cutsey-poo version names: the numbers are enough and I can never remember if Reckless Rodent comes before or after Winsome Wallaby.

Will check it out, thanks for sharing the link.
Been trying out different distro’s for the last few weeks on my non-DAW, Toshiba laptop. Very impressed with the overall progress of Linux since I last messed with it 5 or 6 years ago. I like Ubuntu & Mint the best so far. Fedora showed some promise but doesn’t see my Macbook on the network and Ubuntu & Mint do so on 1st boot after install. Tried Mandriva 2010 and latest OpenSuse and wasn’t happy with app selection.
If there was a Logic Express equivalent for Linux, I would surely give it a whirl. Just not seeing anything close yet. :)
