I'm sure, in previous SUSE versions, apps like Rosegarden were included, but this doesn't seem to be the case any more. I'm running 10.0 OSS

Can anyone tell me the best way to get audio sampling and mixing working under SUSE 10.0? I'm wanting to start recording some of my music. It'll be through a USB-connected M-Audio Black Box - this ought to be supported because it's "class compliant" but can anyone confirm? And what's the best way to get Rosegarden or other similar stuff (I'm also rather interested in Ardour, the open-source DAW) working?
Use the install-apt4suse script (rpm) to get apt installed, configured and running on your machine. Then a simple 'apt-get install rosegarden' will get you up and running. Though I suggest running 'apt-get -s install rosegarden' first to see what dependencies are required. [http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Install-apt4suse] apt is an excellent package manager and really is very easy to use. It will even take care of dependencies for you, and it will run SuSEconfig and ldconfig automatically after installing packages. Just don't get too comfortable with apt, since it is being replaced by smart in future releases. For the time being, apt is stable and package repositories are being actively maintained by a number of reputable SUSErs. JMHO -- Christopher Shanahan
