Re: [linux-audio-user] Ardour and Linux

Hi
You shouldn't have a problem with any of them as regards dual booting.

I have 3 systems on here

64 Studio ( Running 64 bit DOH!)
studio to go ( 32 bit)
and some MS thing with Xp in the title.

All works although the Xp drive has some dust on it!!!

cheers
Bob
