More cross-platform info needed - Linux Distro for testing

[Richmond Mathewson]

Ubuntu is, at least at present, the most widely used desktop PC linux Distro - it is also very easy to install; and is extremely tolerant if you want to pop it on a 'stray, old and neglected' PC you have lurking at the bottom of a cupboard.

I would recommend Ubuntu (which is Debian based) as ideal for testing with ONE CAVEAT from my own experience:

IFF you are going to use AIFF files (either embedded or referenced) they must be slowed down so that they play at half-spped on your MAC: this means that when they are transferred to Ubuntu RR will play them at normal speed: ODD, but not a high price to pay for a FREE OS!

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
