the thing is becoming <off topic> but : I do use linux more and more often, and actually really love it. yet I still use windows for two main reasons :
- I'm a Flash developper (and I know it's really really evil, but it's
a thing I do well enough to earn money...)
- I do use windows during performances, because my (video)work deals
with glitch and the corpo-entertainment clichés, and thus uses massively the M$ aesthetic. the goal is more or less to crash windows in a "nice" graphical way while a friend of mine produces audio noise... (-third reason: I do use MS systems since Basic 1.0 when I was 8, so that I'm quite "used" to them)
the project for which I wanted to use mp3cast~ uses Flash and Flash Communication Server (oooooh god!... but FCS is installed on a linux box...), I just have three days left to setup all the stuff, and don't have time (and am not expert enough) to setup a linux system for that, with all the problems I could meet, and all the time I should spend reading docs to solve them... moreover the artists for which I'm working don't know linux at all...
that's all I wanted to say for my "defense" :)

ok, I understand :) it's a pity, but since I can't move all the other stuff to Linux, I won't use pd at all,
but anyway, since I'm already half evil, let me go further to the dark side.
hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side instead!!
in case you want to come back to PD, in r23.cc (not online today, i'm afraid.. drupal-spamming stuff) we are using a lot of mp3cast~ mp3write~ oggcast~ and oggwrite~... running in linux...we can lend you a hand
