greetings everyone,
My name is Karen.  I have only recently found this LUG, and joined the talk list.
I am a professional singer/ songwriter and media producer with a unique Linux goal.
I wish to make use of the varied console or command line based tools in Linux for my composition work, and if possible for accessing media materials too.
I use adaptive technology, which is part of why my desire is to ssh telnet into my Linux box rather than work with it directly.
I tend to prefer more traditional tools.  for example one sound card in this box will be an m-audio audiofile 2496  production card to which I will be attaching my music keyboard.
In any case while I have some of the tools I require, and firm knowledge that my goals are possible. I have not, at least not until now, found a Linux users group in Toronto where I can get the extra wisdom required.
I am very used to Linux and UNIX based shell structures. I am using one at this moment  based in freedsb, to draft my email, and use another based in Ubuntu for my nonprofit media newsroom's hosting account.
Such is also part of why I want to start with a comparative way to use my Linux box.  I would rather begin with a foundation where I can make use of and learn more right away, than fail to use the Linux box well at all.
Let me be sure  my post is suitable before both asking and answering questions.
Thanks in advance,
Karen
