Ardour and Linux sucks if you go into music production. It just doesn't work out of the box, I've tried a couple of times. I use Mint on both of my computers and it's more than ok. but for anything more than mail writing, net surfing - the normal stuff, it just suuuuuuucks. All those "it's gonna be all right, some day" are just funny, we have 2 major OS-es on which everything works out of the box and let's stick to them, save linux for geeks and servers.
@tomooka: I understand your frustration, but Linux is very usable for way more than just surfing/mail if one posess even a slight ability to stay focused, patient, and be realistic in regards to ones abilities and to what is possible between the given hard/software and distro.
Lashing out at a YouTube video which seems to demonstrate sound from a native Linux sequencer through a E-MU 1820 PCI just fine makes little to no sense and sure doesn't contribute to making stuff work out of the box.
@tomooka did you try the studio distro they say that sets everything up that is normally a pain in the ass to do if you just install the apps onto mint or ubuntu
@tomooka Just adding to the previous reply. If you think linux sucks that fine. But i will say this. Id rather pay a donation to a group of developers who take pride in their developments (and it shows) than a group who will throw something out there just to make money. Hardware choice is certainly a little more "select" shall we say but Im currently getting work done on my third album and can say Ill never be going back to closed source OS'es or software :)
@tomooka Thats very naive of you.. that being said, i agree with you about how it works today. The number one reason i cant switch to linux is due to the lack of proper music software available. But i do think that linux eventually will become the standard.
JUST DUAL BOOT WINDOWS AND UBUNTU AND EVERYTHING WILL BE PERFECT :)

Nice job. Great tune. Ardour and Linux are great. I used to use it a lot on Fedora 3.0 + CCRMA.
Im going to start playing around with recording again, and I couldn't think of any better software to use (on Linux or OSX that is Free)
