Chiping in my 2 pennyworth I'm 'fraid to say thats my experience too...
I work in a Mac-based studio using G3s with loads of RAM, running OS 8.6,
and frequently experience crashes... not as bad as windoze but its a
frustration, particularly with the sort of numbercrunching that audio apps
require (and the sort of pushing the system to the limit that I and probably
most composers do ;-). I'm not going to get into the whole Mac vs. Windoze
vs. Linux debate because I use all 3 OS's, and as far as I see its horses
for courses at the moment - they each have their strengths and
weaknesses... but I'd say hear hear, why not see if Linux can beat them
all....?
best,
Miriam.
