... this morning:
in that dream there was my good old 700 mhz win desktop pc with a linux installed and a fine running pd with gridflow and gem running like hell on it... ... but, ups, wait.. linux.?. after so many days and nights spending in front of this mysthical pinguin, with the feeling of never understood less about computers than in that moment ? try again to discover the unknown depths of your comp ? spending weeks for figuring out why your hardware dont work ? be horrorfied by a monster called unix ? hmmm. YES
i think its a good winter to wake up the pinguin again and try to learn something usefull ....
ok heres my question to all the experts and freaks:
please help
, which linux you would prefer ? the goal is to run pd/gridflow (oh how wonderfull it could be) etc. and to learn about linux ? debian, mandrake, suse, red hat and i heard about a special multimedie linux, but forgot its name. tell me ...
, where can i find good instructions for a weak win user, who wants to experience all this compiling stuff etc ?
, is there a tutorial or something which can bring me to my goal, step by step ? (ok, surly not available, the install linux/pd tutorial for dummies)
in one sentence, i am looking for a guru who leads me through the dark path of personal operating systems..
thanx for reading
Hmmmmm..
That sounds very familiar. i just went through that and its really hard, anyway i dont know GEM but my pd is running, with a Hammerfall DSP Card, which was the most complicated card of all i think.
So whenever you want to ask, ask !!
It is going to be a long, long way ........
The very first thing to start with is with the partitions or do you want to use separate HD's ???
BTW: Where do you live and what is your interest ??
