[Terminal Server]

I have read about movie soundtrack composers who had to rack together tens of computers to be able to synthesize a realistic sounding full orchestra.

Nice info. These super Intel chips would be the go to hardware for such applications. Question...Are you guys doing any thing with Linux? So many distros to choose from. I'm in the process of doing some experimentation. I tried using my laptop with the Live Cds/DVD's but I continue to have some hardware compatibility problems. Knoppix works like a charm but the others....well...not too much luck. I'll openly admit I'm very weak on the installation magic and recognition of the install failure indications. And I don't have a good source at this time to reference.

I did take one of my laptops and the disks to a Linux group meeting but they weren't much help. But then again, I had very little time since they were about to close out (they had to vacant the premise -very strict rules about user group usage of the schools class rooms) I'm going to get the CRU Data Ports (I have a stack of hard drives to experiment with) and try an workstation install instead. Any suggestions...????
