it has. it's the fundie protestants that are making all the noise.

Bush comes from Connecticut, but pretends to be some Texas cowboy.

..like audio software and soft synths.

Ableton Live will support multiple chips/cores, so I want something that will really make short work of those VSTs that are currently beating my CPU like a redheaded stepchild.

Any ideas?

oops.

i try to keep kosher the grammar and usage...

I'm with you on that one. I have some apps that are Windows-only for my music -- and no, I'm not migrating to Mac anytime soon.

Everyone has been very informative. Thanks for all the info!

man?

Hmmm...seems a little daunting, but that's the level of skill and knowledge needed to *really* master Linux. knowledge of the CLI is key, it would seem.

can you recommend any good books on the topic?

Which (for me) begs the question: How *does* one really become proficient in Linux?

I can install $Distribution on a spare machine and tinker with basic this and that. Beyond that, what else?

I am at a loss with a cohesive direction. There are places (locally) where I can take classes on Linux from beginner to "advanced". However, none of the Linux users I know ever took a class; they just seem to "know".

I'm probably over-simplifying, but I really want to dive into it and really understand it -- but I'm at a loss for any real direction.

i LOL'ed

exactly. we offer mcafee "security" to our customers as a free download.

day after day, i get calls about "i've got mcafee on my computer..."

yeah, about that...

"put this man in Cell #2 and give him a drink!"

"what do you drink?"

"i don't care!"

we could just nuke each other now instead of going down the path of slow, painful, and inevitable starvation and war.

blah.
