Linux as A Musician's OS?
lazyeye writes "Keyboard Magazine has an in-depth article about the state of music production on Linux. While it does introduce Linux to the average musician, the article does get into some of the available music applications and music-oriented Linux distributions out there. From the opening paragraph 'You might think there's no way a free operating system written by volunteers could compete when it comes to music production. But in the past couple of years, all the tools you need to make music have arrived on Linux.'"
1997 called. It wants its tech story lead back. Seriously: it's 2007: if "Linux" hasn't yet established itself as a brand name in the OS world, it never will. (Also, I'd love to see the looks on the average Red Hat or Novell employee's face if HR told each one of them that instead of a paycheck, they're all volunteers now.)
After just reading TFA, I have to say it reads like a list of reasons NOT to use Linux.
Q: What do you call a guy who hangs around with musicians?
A: A drummer...
That is all.
