Time for some upgrades?

[mdlbear]

Upgrading the workstations, and possibly the fileserver, to Lenny (Debian Testing) is starting to look attractive. It's running 2.6.22, which is the one I need to support my Seagate SATA-II drives, and it has Audacity 1.3.4, which is the latest and matches the version in UbuntuStudio.

It's usually safe to upgrade the fileserver, since it's inside the firewall. The only reason to hold off is that every once in a while you get a major upheaval and something breaks, usually in one of my local scripts; when that happens it's handy to have the previous version around somewhere. I'll probably wait a couple of months. There's no reason not to upgrade the workstations now.

I'll keep UbuntuStudio around, too, especially since 64Studio is still based on Etch, so the kernels aren't up to date.

Speaking of UbuntuStudio, have you seen this?:

They apparently have their own distro called Transmission that seems based on UbuntuStudio:

I've seen that before -- it's very cool, and we wants it. Maybe after my next album...

Judging from the "major contributors" list, I'd say the base is 64studio rather than UbuntuStudio. It's a pretty minor difference in most cases, but UbuntuStudio and the latest Debian (Lenny) have Audacity 1.3.4. I'd expect Trinity to catch up by the time I could maybe afford one.
