Oh I can do things other than Linux. I use Windows for my music making computer, mostly because my payware VST instruments (RealGuitar, RealStrat, Miles'tone trumpet, Jamstix) won't run in Linux... for commercial reasons.
Well now that you've started this thread... *shrug* Anyone need any recommendations for Windows freeware? Need a program to do something, but you're not sure what to get? Thinking about trying Linux, but you don't know what programs to look for in the Linux world? Thinking about getting a computer but you're not sure which brand/model is best?
(By the way, about that last one... "best" is very relative, and if you ask me what is the "best" laptop, tablet, etc. I will have to ask you a few questions about what exactly you want out of it. Just so you know.)
