People interested in wasting time run Linux.

No, people interested in wasting time run Twenex on their TOPS-20
emulator. Much more fun than your cheesy Windows and Linux machines.

True, and quite funny.
But if you take a close look at some of these Linux loonies, you will
see that they are still trying to figure out how to run C-64 emulators.

IOW while the rest of the world marches on, they languish in their own
filth and obsolescence.

I have nothing against these misfits, but when talking about running a
pro-level DAW, Linux isn't exactly the first OS to come to mind.

WHAT??!?!? Seems like language problems to me.

If Windows cost $7,000 or the next Mac OS cost $14,000, then I could see
someone maybe wanting to try & use Linux for their OS - but ferchrissakes,
it's a couple hundred dollars... how much in productivity have these guys
lost trying to run their DAW of choice on Linux, I wonder?

My guess is that none of these folks have commercial facilities. Has anyone
heard an album project done in Linux? Not that it would sound better or
worse, but I mean has anyone actually ever completed one? I'd be curious to
know if anyone's been able to keep things workng consistently enough to
record & mix an entire CD.

Not that I have anything against Linux in concept, but to the guy who said:
"People interested in freedom run Linux", I'd say: "People interested in
productivity run something they can complete projects with". That's the
real freedom.

People interested in wasting time run Windows and come here to promote it.

The manual said to install Windows 2000 or better...
So I installed SuSE Linux 9.1!

How much productivity 9and money) is lost to running virus scans,
downloading virus definition updates, running Ad Aware and/or Spybot,
running defrag apps, downloading MS patches, rebooting the machine, and
trouble shooting Windows little "features"? I have have to do exactly NONE
of these with Linux.

Oh...and my copy of SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional cost me $59 plus shipping -
with every application I'll ever need included. I had to install only a
single third-party driver for the nVidia video card and everything was
setup in about 2 hours, except for my little personal tweaks to make
everything look better. It takes a couple of nights to install Windows,
drivers, and software. How much productivity and money is lost there?

I have single applications on my Windows computer that cost more than my
entire Linux distro. I've got tons of hard earned cash invested in Windows.
How much money have I saved, paying a mere $59 plus shipping for SuSE Linux
9.1?

I'll hand you that one with one qualification: MacOS is pretty much the
defacto standard for computer audio production. It's widely available in PC
format, but there is much more available on the Mac. The Mac uses BSD Unix
based core system and porting it to Linux wouldn't be very hard at all. If
Linux gained in popularity, those apps would probably find there way there.

I run both Windows and Linux. That's even more freedom. However, I can't
wait for something to replace Windows completely without the cost of
running a Mac.

But what about all the other pro Linux audio apps ?
