How to record from JACK with Ardour on Linux
Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: centos, desktop, fedora, opensuse, ubuntu •
Comments: 0 With all the madness that prevails the Linux audio engines and complex inter-related frameworks and subsystems, it is very easy to get lost and overwhelmed when you want to do something as simple as to record yourself playing an electric musical instrument.

Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: arch linux, debian, fedora, linux, ubuntu •
Comments: 16 There is a common misconception among GNU/Linux users that our systems never ever need to be defragmented. This stems from the success of the journalized filesystems used by most distributions including EXT2,3 and 4, JFS, ZFS, XFS, ReiserFS and BTRFS. Fragmentation though can still be an issue though, especially for users that use space limited disks that may not offer many file allocation options.
