Re: Any Distro Hoppers Out There?

Thanks very much for the prompt replies. I'm still not sure if I should hold off on buying a computer and just buy a dedicated Audio Workstation. I was making lists of pros and cons of each (Audio DAW, or Computer) and I realised and remembered that as much as I enjoy computing, I've experienced so ...

Any Distro Hoppers Out There?

Are any of you "distro hoppers"? (People who test drive various Linux distributions a lot) I used to be a big distro hopper. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. Each distro is truly unique and has it's own advantages and disadvantages. I'm possibly about to buy a new computer pretty s...
