Intro
Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to Linux. I started messing with it this past summer with SUSE 9.3. Since then I have tried Fedora Core 3 & 4, Ubuntu, Xandros, and most recently SUSE 10.0 Open Source (installed on my system now). At first, I was really lost. The learning curve is steep at first. But, over time I have gained some valuable knowledge.
I am fed up with Windows. I use Windows mostly as a music recording platform (Sonar 4 PE with a Yamaha 01x) but I also go on the internet and play games. Unfortunately, windows becomes cluttered very easily and I start having problems with my audio setup. So, I am trying to make the switch over to Linux as my primary desktop and use a non internet connected Win XP (until Linux gets rock solid support for the 01x interface) strictly for music production.
For the longest time I couldn't get 3d support with my Radeon 9700 pro with any distro. Which kind of turned me off to linux for a while. That all changed yesterday... I FINALLY was able to get it working. Thanks to the new drivers released by ATI last week. So now I am excited again about linux!!!
I hope I can get some of my other smaller questions answered here on these forums.
Thanks in advance!
