hello
<just a thought>
are you talking about mounting a network drive to use for your audio
data? i seem to remember some discussion on this list a while back about
the fact that you really need a local hard disk to run multitrack audio
data from. unless you have a fat raid drive and gigabit ethernet or
something. (even then nfs isn't really up to it??)
</just a thought>
you can automatically mount network drives by putting the appropriate
lines in /etc/fstab
as for window managers, i find windowmaker is pretty light weight
as for automatic login, like Frank said, using gdm/ kdm you can
automatically login a user.
as for automatically starting ardour, you can do this by putting the
commands you issue to run ardour into your ~/.xinitrc script.
i like the idea of having a dedicated machine for multitrack audio
BTW... its a bit like a poor mans radar :)
