[ardour-dev] Compiling on Etch (was Hi everybody)

[D R Holsbeck]

Thanx for the reply.

Ive moved onto XUbunto for now, just for something different.

Ill try compiling on that, as soon as I get this #$%@W# windows
fileserver migated to Samba. The crap I have to do for money ;-)

I definetly want to try Ardour2 though.
