Hi there,

I'm new to linux, but learning fast...
Somebody gave me an old celeron @ 300 Mhz with 32 megs of RAM.
I was wondering if i could use it for scheduled audio recording using DSL.
As a Window$ XP user i've got plenty of freewares for automatic audio recording and other stuff i'd like to keep.
I just want to know if i could use Wine on DSL for running these small utilities...
Tried the Slax Live CD, it has wine and I think it's great, but it need 64 megs to run.
Hope somebody can inform me about DSL, thanx!

Wine just like Windows is fat, bloated, and slow...(however can still run efficiently)

What version of windows can run in 32Megs!!!!

I dont think that will work for you man, I recommend at least 128Megs of RAM (maybe less using DSL) but 32Megs of RAM and you will be sorely dissapointed

Just try to run wine in 32Megs..you may end up drinking alcohol in heavy doses afterwards

Right..
I guess I'll end up spending (too much) money in my local computer shop buying
some extra Megs of second hand RAM unless someone has got a better idee.
Maybe there's some great audio recording freeware for linux that allows me to automatically record my favorite radio programs....
Any suggestions?

There probably is. There are a couple of DVR apps out there for Linux that would probably do what you want. You'll need to google for them though. An awesome straight audio editing app is available for DSL. It's called Audacity. You could probably even write a script that would make it start recording at a certain time after opening another app first. Xmms plays mp3 streams from web urls, so you could record the audio that's being input from that.

Hmm,

In fact I don't want to record audio streams but from my soundcards audio input.
I'm one of those old-fashioned guys that still uses stuff like *analog* radio equipment!!
And I'm hooked to my CoolEdit 96 wave editor (Demo without expiration date, only a few limitations **NO CRACK!**) which runs very well with Wine!
There's already a copy of Audacity sitting on my HDD, but it's doing nothing but taking space...
I'll try the script thing...
Maybe there's a soft for Linux that can do just the scheduled recording stuff without needing Wine....
I could do the editing part with CE96 on my second machine which i'm unable to reboot now because it's recording in the background

Tried google, but didn't find anything yet...
