I have an ensoniq 1373. I ran into problems when I installed skype. I couldnt get the microphone to work to mention the distortiong I was getting as well, and then it went to hell from there. So if someone can remedie that I would be very grateful.
I am a relative newbie to Linux. So you'll have to pardon me if I am not as knowlegable as the rest of you. I can see how certain attitudes among the experienced members of the Linux communtiy could turn off people who are trying to switch. I think its important to remeber that we were all at one time newbies, inexperienced, and junior. :nothappy:

I have an Ensoniq AudioPCI as well in my machine, what is the model number, mine is ES1371 and I have no problems in Slackware 10.2 or any other distro I've tried in the past. :p

BTW I dont feel that I have enough kowneldge of Linux to run Slackware. I heard that distro is meant for experts.

BTW I am going to stick with FC 4. I need to cut my teeth on something. So I have decided to go with that distro for the time being. Its user friendly enough for me to get started. I might play with some others if I am able to come by another pc or perhaps get an old G-3 or G-4.
MarathoN:
Nope, I know hardly anything about Linux and even I find Slackware easy to install. :)
dmcfarland:
Different people different distro's. Thanks god.

Thanks to the Mac Mini, G3 and G4 towers are mad cheap. G4 466/256MB/30GB for $299. That site doesn't have any G3 towers in stock, but I hear they've gone for $150 or even less. Although, with OS X, I'd stick to G4 (even slower ones) - for example, I've seen G3/700 vs. G4/450 on OS X, and the G4 won.
Oh, and they have a G3/500 iMac for $199 right now.
