On Monday we were having a Skype conference for the YWAM KB and Steve needed to reboot his Vista Laptop... (of course) Anyway it was a frustrating wait for the rest of us let alone Steve. Now I have been suggesting he installs Linux on his machine and regains the speed and productivity he seems to be lacking these days. Yet that is a big jump.

I don't know whether any of you use Virtual Machines much? I have been mucking around with them for a bit and they can be great fun as you can set up a test operating system and play around with it. Most enable you to surf the net etc. I have been playing with VirtualBox and had a lot of fun.

Hi @ all.
Ubuntu Studio is available since about a week now. Also since then their websites (www.ubuntustudio.com, .org or .net) are mainly not accessible. At least at the time I wrote this. The wiki is no problem though.
Last weekend I tried to download it because I'm interested how it will look like and work since I'm not just a computer dude but also a sound techie. But it seems like the world is going crazy after Ubuntu Studio. I had an estimated download time of 54h. I thought I try to be smart so I checked BitTorrent as well. No difference there.

Hi @ all!

The new version of Ubuntu is available. As I expected the news said right away that the download server are unable to cope with the amount of users who download the newest release. Well, it was a big hype in the press about this version, so how could it different. If you waited for it, do yourself a little favor and let the others download first and do some beta test on the final release and the next week enjoy a fast download.

Hi @ all!
If you waited for the new release of Debian, well, the time of waiting is over. It has been released yesterday (8th April 2007).

Hi @ all!

Now that the iPhone blog is closed as it just started to be interesting ;-) I'm wondering if we can discuss (in a Godly way!!) the advantages of the different OS. Well, I guess we leave it for with the major platforms we use, Linux, OS X and Windows. I don't think that we have many people here who are playing around with other systems. What I would like to see is that you write about the advantages of the OS, so we are not looking at a particular program and I don't want to know why Windows or Mac sucks. Not even through the back door!

G'Day everyone,
are here folks who are interested or working with media stuff? Or say more specific audio, graphic or video editing? If you want to do something, for Base or personal purposes, but don't have the funds to buy software or you don't want to buy software for first try of, say, your own song recording, or what ever reason, here might be a solution for you.
All for free.
