Even with modern Linux distributions, the inconsistency with onboard audio devices makes using headphones and microphones a hit-or-miss venture. When things work, they work great, but when things don’t work, it’s generally tough to get them going.
RedNotebook is a nifty little diary application. According to its Web site:

Part 1 of this series introduced arpeggiators in general and profiled the QMidiArp application. This week we conclude our survey with a look at two more arpeggiators for Linux musicians: Hypercyclic and Arpage.
What do you think each Linux distribution is "best for"? You can only pick one selection for each distribution (which, by the way, we know is going to be difficult). We'll compile results and share them in an upcoming article. Make sure your voice is heard!
For a few years I have been trying to create a "distributed cluster storage
system" (see below) on standard Linux hardware.
I have been unsuccessful. I have looked into buying one and they do exist,
but are so expensive I can't afford one.
They also are designed for much larger enterprises and have tons of features I don't want or need.
I am hoping the Linux community can help me create this low cost
"distributed cluster storage system" which I think other small businesses could use.
Please help me solve this so we can publish the solution to the open source
community.

One of the least understood features of OpenOffice.org is graphics text. People understand vaguely that it differs from regular text, but exactly how it differs or why anyone should care is mostly unknown. However, if you know the distinction, graphics text can work for you in ways that regular text cannot.
The internet is one thing but you know you've arrived when you see
your face on the cover of a tabloid.
Although we can't quite offer you that experience,
we are bringing back tech-tips in the magazine.
