Make ebooks pretty with GutenMark
,----[ Quote ]
| Project Gutenberg is a real treasure trove for bookworms and casual readers
| alike, but turning etext files into a readable form is not as easy as it may
| seem. In theory, since etexts are just plain text files, you should be able
| to open and read them on any platform without any tweaking. In practice,
| however, this approach rarely works. Hard line breaks, for example, ruin the
| text flow, making it virtually impossible to read the book on a mobile
| device. Another problem is that most books are stored as single files, so
| locating a particular chapter or section in a lengthy book can quickly become
| a serious nuisance. Then there are minor, but still annoying formatting
| quirks, such as inconsistent handling of italicized text, use of straight
| quotes instead of smart ones, and so on.

29 Music-making Apps for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week we looked at why Linux deserves some consideration when choosing an
| operating system for your digital recording studio. But even the worthiest
| operating system is useless without useable apps.
|
| [...]
|
| Most of the programs are available free of charge, and in general are of
| higher quality than the free audio apps for Windows we looked at a few weeks
| ago. So without further ado, here are 29 music making applications for Linux.

energyXT2: Low-Cost Plug-in, Sequencer, DAW, for Windows and Now Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The $75 app energyXT2 starts out sounding similar to other music apps --
| but after a long list of twists, seems anything but. It's a DAW. It's
| a sequencer. It's an audio multitracker. (Okay, not so interesting so far
| ...) It's a synth. It's a sampler. It's a drum machine. It's a looper.
| It runs as a host. It runs in a plug-in. Now it runs on Linux -- making
| it perhaps the first significant music creation app to do a
| commercial, out-of-box release for the penguin. It's got a modular
| engine underneath.

| More users are jumping on the 64-bit bandwagon, and the 64Studio

| Bumps may occur, and users experiencing problems with the system can

| 64-bit (AMD or Intel) machine and want to know how it handles
| contemporary Linux sound and music software, check out 64Studio,

Review of dyne:bolic 2.4.2
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion
|
| Man, I wish I had this 10 years ago when I was recording and
| playing music full time. This is a great system packed with
| very handy software that can easily cost you several thousand
| dollars of outboard gear to replace.
