Portable linux music computer

Post by j_e_f_f_g »

For you guys thinking of gigging with a computer, this seems like it could more versatile, and probably sturdier, than a laptop:

But personally, I use a rackmount computer (in a 6U SKB case, along with my QSC power amp, Roland Fantom XR, and MOTU Ultralite), and use a DoubleSight USB touchscreen monitor (atop my Roland A-90 keyboard) to operate the computer. Simple and roadworthy.

I'd spend my 1400 bucks on something else. Cool initiative though.

There was a lot of linux-based music computer projects before, almost all of them are dead now.
