    Are you using Amarok on Windows, Linux, or other?  I have Amarok

1.3.1 on KDE 3.4.2 on Mandriva 2006.0 Community on 2.6.12-12mdksmp on an i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz w/ 1GB RAM on a desk with a bunch of crap on it, and all it does is crash for me. I use Totem instead, occasionally using xine for audio, and usually for video (different subject). Just wondering how stable Amarok is for you.

I'm running Amarok 1.4.3 (using KDE 3.5.5) on Ubuntu 6.10 (I'm actually a Gnome user). I used Mandrake up till 10.0, I'll never go back. My desktop is an Athlon 2400 with 2 gigs of memory (though consumption rarely goes past half gig unless I'm running several VMWare OSes at the same time). I started using it about 3 days ago, I've had a few crashes, but mostly when doing something major like re-scanning my collection (8000+). Had no trouble grabbing covers, creating playlists, editing 100s of tags within Amarok, etc. Only complaint really is that it's pig slow when switching to or sorting columns on large playlists (well the whole 8000 heheh).

I'm a Mandriva dev and would have to say that if you've not used it for a while I think you'll be pleasently surprised these days. It's come a long, long way since 10.0! I guess I should never say never :) Maybe I'll give it a spin in VMWare when I have some spare time.

Yeah, like I've said in other posts, I've been using Mandrive since before Connectiva got in the mix, and it was Mandrake. The first version I jumped on was Mandrake 7.2 (Odyssey) back in 2000, after jumping off of Redhat 7 (Guinness). I usually upgrade about once every year or so, going to 8.1 (Vitamin), 8.2 (Bluebird), and 9.2 (FiveStar), but used FiveStar from 2003 until last year when I made the huge leap to 2006.0 Community. Freaking amazing. So since 2000, I've been using it at home, in my vehicles, and even used it as a requirement for hire when a new company wanted to bring me on (which is from where I'm typing right now, in fact). I haven't bumped up versions yet on any of my machines, so 2006.0 is my most recent installation, and I rarely use it for a production server (though almost always for my local test and development environments), but as long as Mandriva keeps everything in the spirit of the original Mandrakelinux project, I don't see myself jumping ship completely. I'll add a CentOS server or play with an Ubuntu distro here and there, but Mandrake will always be home to me. -- Daniel P. Brown [office] (570-) 587-7080 Ext. 272 [mobile] (570-) 766-8107
