...and the other 2/3rds are Unix-boxes :-)

Microsoft put up a website a little while ago now, extoling the advantages and virtues of Windows servers, until it was pointed out to them that their website was in fact being served by Apache, running on a Unix-based server...

...the website was taken down shorty afterwards... :lol:
They're gonna make it easier for programmers to get the two to talk ....... apparently..... although they still believe Windows is superior .........
They can talk pretty well already, really. Protocols like CORBA allow for powerful inter-application communications across different platforms, then you've got SAMBA shares allowing for high-level networking comms, then you've got common high-level protocols like SMTP, HTTP...

It's a shame that Microsoft can't 'tow the line' a bit more with respect to industry standards (such as HTML, JAVA etc...) Their continual insistence on 're-inventing the wheel' (coming up with their own versions of accepted standards) causes lots of problems.

They need to learn that ROUND is a perfectly good shape for a wheel... :wink:

I was wondering, what sort of audio devices (professional grade) are supported?
Check out the "ALSA Matrix":
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/

Here's a snapshot of what kind of audio apps I've got on the laptop, running DeMuDi. Google the names for more info on them.
That snapshot of my menu merely shows the soundapps with GUI, plenty more that can run as daemon, in the background. This usually means that you can run the front-end (GUI) on another machine, and connect to the daemons over the LAN.

And out of the more recent news: Suse will work together with MS Windows: http://www.informationweek.com/windows/ ... =193501481

Have fun :)

I remembered csound had a gui.. and I remember messing with it. I also remember there were several guys each doing their own version of gui front ends for csound, so it's well worth a search. Still too much time needed for dev though.. I remember I got it to run in windows.

I have 80 lines that make it accessible via some GUI... :D

but I always was tempted to buy one of those Silicon Graphics boxes with adat on board for a 100 bucks (on eBay) for CSound and PureData
not enough time - and they are probably too loud for my taste anyway

btw these Linux packagers s*ck completely imo, those who 'make' the packages - not the OS... :P

cheers, Tom
s/OS/kernel/g

ScopeBSD is still the best option ;)
