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 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
