i hooked up an emagic mt4 midi interface to mine last night and  
jammed with zynaddsubfx and amsynth and sooperlooper on a big piano  
controller .. it was awesome.  just worked out of the box, no special  
tweaking required.. looks like, for my basic needs, linux audio is  
ready for serious consideration.

and i've decided, yes i'm going to sell my macbook .. i don't need it  
since i'm not writing any OSX-only software any more, and so .. i'll  
just get another linux machine or two, cheap-style, maybe the EEEPC  
version 2 when its released in April, or maybe something else ..
