Please could we persuade you to do a talk on Linux in the music studio
one month? MessageLabs in Gloucester provide us with a very nice
conference room, third Tuesday of the month.

influential band The Cassandra Complex. All the ex-goths and industrial

Have we mentioned the NSLU2 in the NAS context yet? I recall from the
demo a couple of years back that it performed well with Linux Software
RAID across two USB2 external drives. Although discontinued last year,
they're still available new for under 60 quid (but of course you've got
the external drive costs on top of that).
