Thanks for wrinting!

Freeware is not free software, please, see

www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html 

you can try our audacity, solfege, zynaddsubfx, hydrogen and so... but , it's 
better to move to GNU/Linux

mmm

Ubuntu is heavier than Musix (and unbuntu is not 100% free as in freedom), try 
Musix or another 100% free distro

what's your machine like? it's a pentium 4?

:D

nice

i recommend these:

http://moglen.law.columbia.edu/publications/berlin-keynote.html

for instance:

..."In December of 1989, when some very positive events had happened in 
Prague, I went down into the New York City subway one day and I found a man 
down there who plays the violin for money in the subway at his usual place. 
And in the back of his violin case, where he collected the dimes and the 
quarters, he had put a photograph of Vatslav Havel and underneath he had 
written: "Artists will rule." That's us, and he is right. It's a struggle; it 
has winners and losers; it is a velvet revolution; it is the fullfillment of 
long hopes and the deepest of dreams, and we are fortunate to carry it to 
fruition this time. "...

for free and for freedom ;), just like you say now:

Sure, Albert Camus wrote that (L'Homme Révolté  
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Homme_r%C3%A9volt%C3%A9), and maybe many 
more people (i only know about Camus and Eben Moglen saying those kind of 
things)

How did you reached those ideas?
