Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a preamp(or headphone amplifier) between my Guitar and my PC's line-in?
- Need? Probably not. Want? Probably. While I have had acceptable success without one, I am not myself at the level of a serious guitarist with a paying audience. An excellent (AFAIK) explanation of the issues of an electric guitar signal versus common PC soundcard line-in/mic-in was given on the rakarrack-users mailinglist by Ryan Billing.
- Derived from Fedora-10/11? Why not 12?
- My intention for the foreseeable future is to lag my upstream's release schedule by one full release (6 months). Given that they support releases for a year, this means I can start with 6 months of their updates, by sacrificing having 2 concurrently supported releases in parallel. Given that Guitar-ZyX is a very very niche distro, this makes a lot of sense. More so if you know the history of living in the first 6 month window of this particular upstream. Lets just say that I have no desire to be that bleeding edge. Alternately though, after 6 months of errata, Fedora is IMHO a good distro (hence my continued use of it).
- Why not derive from Debuntu?
- Maybe someday, but for now, I've yet to hit that point where the pendulum will swing, and I'll switch my default distro, before another switch months or years later, etc... I'd be glad to offer help to anyone seriously interested in using my various GPL warez on a Debuntu base. An outline of what needs to be done is pretty straightforward. I've used preseed years ago, and allegedly kickstart works to some degree anyway. Other than that, it should be pretty straightforward, as the original design included support for different ancestors/upstreams.
