[Gloucs] Sound Cards

[Maximillian Murphy]

I don't do multimedia, but the September Linux Magazine has an  
article about a Norwegian band that works entirely on Linux  
software.  There is a short list of products they use:  "the digital  
audio workstation (DAW) Ardour, the Jazz sequencer, and the  
LinuxSampler audio sampler running on Fedora Core spiced with  
multimedia packages from the PlanetCCRMA project".

That's gobbeldygook to me, but presumably they have a high quality  
setup so you might learn something from examining it.  Their site is  
www.faun.info

Regards, Max
