Re: unique install question? (Squeeze audio install using the Wheezy-di from a USB drive)
Hi Karen :)
I suspect that 30GB won't be enough space to install all packages from
all DVDs. Btw. I was a musician too and I was a radio producer too and
there's still DR DOS for my Atari's 80286 hardware emulator installed. I
guess that having those less things in common I still can forecast that
you absolutely won't install all packages from the DVDs, but you will
need to install from special repositories, perhaps Debian multimedia.
If you like Debian and wish to get a Linux DAW check out
http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html
http://ubuntustudio.org/
Perhaps somebody on that list has got information about the 64 Studio
successor.
At the moment I don't have a stable Linux DAW :(, but AVLinux (Debian
Stable) and/or Ubuntu Studio Precise, might become the next stable DAW
on my PC, both are installed.
You should get some kind of Internet connection. At least a neighbor
with a 56K modem, to get some urgently needed stuff from Debian
multimedia or similar repos.
FWIW "for most people ;)" best workflow for audio is given by Xfce and
LXDE. For visually impaired people there's some Linux software that even
does work with braille, while speech synth AFAIK don't work that good
for DEs. I'm not visually impaired, but tested Orca with GNOME2.
Regards,
Ralf
