My own digital audio studio

I’ve been composing music for many years and I’ve now settled for these components in my very own digital studio.

You can also freely download my music compositions.

One computer for 4 students. This makes economic sense.

As read on Slashdot, “HP are supplying their low-cost multi-user 441 desktops to African schools. Running Mandrake Linux, and sporting four screens (…), (4) keyboards and (4) mice (…) they provide relatively cheap computer access for up to four users (of particular interest to schools in low economic zones)”.

Of course, this kind of setup (not specifically HP) can be a great cost-saver for Mauritian school and colleges. And running Linux (no need to use Mandrake specifically I would tend to think) gives all the additional advantages of security, reliability and more important remote administration that is required for the Mauritian School IT Project to succeed.
