Re: [microsound] webmixing...great fun

Heretico: Thanks for turning me on to dyne.org... but not so much 
because of MuSE. I was very psyched to see their cd based linux 
distro... with a GUI! I don't know if anyone else out there is working 
on such a project. It brings me back to my old Mac days when you could 
run the full Mac OS off a CD-ROM (though without your personal settings 
of course). I don't know if you can still do that with OS X, but you 
certainly could NEVER do it with windows.

Oh and to eva-revox...this linux-on-a-CD at dyne.org (dynebolic) has 
MuSE in it. So, you could actually download the file (it's 121 MB 
though), uncompress it and burn it to a CD (it's an ISO once 
uncompressed). Then reboot your computer and (as long as your BIOS is 
set to boot from a CD first) you'll boot into a barebones, but graphic, 
linux and you can run the MuSE program. Seems like a great way for 
people to play around with linux without committing to installing it on 
a drive.

P.S. before sending this I figured I'd try the dynebolic linux-on-a-cd 
out. It's pretty cool... generally faster than my hardrive installation 
of linux! However, I couldn't get the NIC card set right, so I couldn't 
check out MuSE. I'm gonna write to them right now and see how to fix 
that. But really, if you're interested in checking out linux but haven't 
wanted to deal with installing it, this is great. Just be careful cuz 
(at least on my linux box) I found I could access any directory on the 
harddrive and delete anything (which makes it a great repair tool).

Oh, and my apologies if this thread is wandering off topic...
