hmm... I guess no one is responding to my dreary email ;)
 Anyways, Windows is annoying so I'm going to be going ahead with a dual boot system so I can at least use Linux and KDE for most of my computer work, though I'm still wondering if I should give CCRMA another go. I like that Dave S. has put some effort into a quick guide to setting up a Planet CCRMA install. Well that's the part I get already but I hope it helps the newcomers. 
 So I'm wondering now what alot of you Planet CCRMA users use for synths and plugins and what kind of sounds and music you're making with them. I heard Carlos' song and I liked the synth pads he had in there. I'm surrounded by Macs and expensive software at my school, and well... they're so shiny! Hell, if they had a plugin that resembled jingling keys I'd be distracted for hours with that. Coming to Linux, alot of the sofware is very utilitarian and sometimes outright unintuitive. There are exceptions, like Rosegarden and Hydrogen that are elegant and very useful. I looked at the changelog for the new Rosegarden 1.2.x release and am impressed with the development of that project. Is there any drum synth similar to  a TB-808* (not samples but models analog synthesis for drum sounds). I want to give alsamodularsynth a whirl but it hasn't been developed in awhile. I still want to leave my questions about automation and using a midi controller open from my last email. I look forward to
 your responses.
