[Fedora-music-list] Fedora 20 Jam Nightly - So far, so good ...

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

I have my other laptop (HP Pavilion dv4 - the one with decent audio)  
running Fedora 20 Jam nightly from 2013-09-14! Installation was  
flawless and KDE came up fine. I haven't had a chance to do any audio  
testing yet other than browsing to player.allclassical.org, but all  
the computational journalism / R stuff is working fine.

The GNOME 3 desktop works and there haven't been any instabilities or  
crashes or even glitches. I'll probably take it out into the wild  
tomorrow to make sure the Broadcom WiFi is working - that needs a  
proprietary firmware chunk so I have to load the machine via a wired  
network. In any event, Heisenbug is in *much* better shape than  
Spherical Cow was at this stage in the life cycle.

Next step will be to install PureData and ChucK - I'm learning both in  
parallel because I want to start doing some live performance stuff and  
algorithmic composition. They're in Planet CCRMA but I think I'm going  
to build them from upstream source instead.
