RE: LTS Explained

Hi and thanks a lot for the very interesting and helpful advice
You say " Practice was a bit harder then I appreciated "
+1 !
It is not at all as easy as Win 7 but ... i do not know
Unfortunately i am hard at learning but it could be that it is really a very efficient and robust OS
Moreover the fact that slimmed down installations of Win 7 are said to sound better makes me wonder if Win7 is not too loaded with sw that actually is not needed for audio playback.
I would prefer on principle a very basic and powerful and stable OS and then add specific drivers
Fundamental is to keep the pc absolutely disconnected by the web, the origin of all nightmares.
I am about to receive a decent (i hope) usb dac that should work with Ubuntu, an Hegel HD11
As i like to play more than to listen to music ... i have also found a cheap usb to spdif converter that it is said to work also and bought it
Yesterday evening i installed on an old mini pc a copy of Openelec
It works nicely but i do not know if it can work with the nex incoming dac
Hope so. Thanks a lot again.



Kind regards,
bg
