I know comments are not an ideal method for back and forth communication, but I wanted to let you know that I've spent more time on your newer Eee posts and they have been tremendously helpful. It's exciting that so many audio options (software and hardware) are available on the Eee PC as well as other linux options. Got to go now and order my Eee PC!Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14880343975929637281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965001869165611498.post-54334876782834466362007-11-09T14:36:00.000-05:002007-11-09T14:36:00.000-05:00Benjamin: You have about 1.3 GB of free space before you start installing programs. I've tried to keep things to a minimum by just installing Audacity, GIMP, and I keep wavering back and forth about whether I want to install Opera or not. Loading the Full Desktop also takes up a bit of space. Right now I still have about 1GB of free space on my unit, plus I keep a 1GB memory card in the SD slot. If I wind up doing a lot of audio editing on the go I'll probably get a larger storage card.<BR/><BR/>Also, I figured out a kind of convoluted way to install Audacity 1.3 beta: <BR/><BR/>http://www.bradlinder.net/2007/11/how-to-run-audacity-13-beta-on-eee-pc.html<BR/><BR/>As for Ardour, I haven't even tried installing it. I'm sure you could get it to run, but it just doesn't seem like it'd be worth the effort.Brad Linderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18390619155094201350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965001869165611498.post-73385868924449727752007-11-09T14:27:00.000-05:002007-11-09T14:27:00.000-05:00I second Mike's emotion! I've been watching the Eee for the past week or so to do some simple audio editing during my commute. To my amazement there is a blog where someone (namely Brad Linder, yay!) has installed Audacity and it wasn't a huge pain. I too thought about Ardour and had the same reservations. I was curious about one thing, how much usable hard drive space do you have after installing a couple apps? Obviously the bigger the app the more space eaten up, but do you still have around a gig left? More?<BR/>Thanks!Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14880343975929637281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965001869165611498.post-55137951588877676352007-11-03T10:00:00.000-04:002007-11-03T10:00:00.000-04:00pretty cool that the eee pc uses apt! that means with minimal tweaking you have several thousand programs that are installable in seconds.<BR/><BR/>It also means that the eee probably automatically installs updates via apt-get upgrade, which is very good.a magical trumpet called billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02441736766606557062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965001869165611498.post-46430951591484038932007-11-01T18:39:00.000-04:002007-11-01T18:39:00.000-04:00OMG.<BR/><BR/>1) I use Audacity on my desktop<BR/><BR/>2) I didn't know there was a Linux version<BR/><BR/>3) It can run on the Eee!<BR/><BR/>OMG x 2!<BR/><BR/>Thanks!!Mike Canehttp://mikecane.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
