LP Recording in Linux

[Zscoundrel]

Why would someone do that?  Most sound cards come with Line In, Line 
Out, Mic, and Speaker jacks don't they?  I have only had 10 or twelve of 
them, and they all came that way.

If you examine how Bill Gates funded research into solving the social issues he is concerned about 
las year, you would notice that he is 14 times more concered about the global threat of Linux than 
he is about AIDS. 

This is understandable when you consider the method of transmission.  I suspect Bill is probably 
much more likely to get Linux than he is to get AIDS!!!  After all, you can download and install 
Linux by yourself!
