Not just classical music - they've got a great version of The Hard Blues by Julius Hemphill with a saxaphone sextet.

And this is unrelated and not free, but I wanted to share with you (Nadir). I'm not a big heavy metal fan, but this one blows me away every time I watch it.

(I can't resist the urge to bill this as "a cute video of a little girl singing a song about her shadow.")

The metal song is more than just impressive. Thanks.
I am more in punk, and as far metal is concerned, i prefer the very straight bands (slayer, iron-maiden, anthrax ...).
Check if you can see this short video on facebook (not from a musical point of view, but from a social point of view it is very interesting):
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10 ... nref=story
(you probably don't know, but right now we got huge demonstrations in Germany, against muslims and against foreigners in general. Rascist ****, to make it short. Also lots of demonstrations against it. Just on a side note, it isn't related to the video. I don't care. In my hood most folks are muslims, and we get along fine. I do realize, or think so, that they are - slightly - scared. A shame ).
These days i listen a lot to classical music, when at home. Lots of Mahler.Rachmaninov too.
Can't say i really got a hang for it, but it is sure interesting.

But yeah, blues is ... well: one-size-fits-all kinda music.

There is a thread at the gentoo forum bout a script for a gentoo installation.
I didn't look at the thread, only realized it is there. In case you got interest, i might hunt for it (i guess you don't).
How is whichever-version-of-slackware you looked at working? Or did you give up on it?

I haven't done anything with slackware or zenwalk lately. I think I gave up on it, maybe just temporarily, but I'm concerned about there not being enough packages available. So yeah, I'd be interested to see a scripted gentoo install. (Hm, I don't want to have to compile some packages, I'd rather compile them all?)
Glad you liked the video. I only knew you'd appreciate metal because you like crimson.
Yes, I can see/hear the facebook video. Had to look up the original and read the lyrics. Yikes and Wow.

This is what i ran into:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7677248.html
but i think the comments show that it has problems. I only glanced over the thread.
I am happy with gentoo, but i got to say: The installation process is a bit of a showstopper ...
(Don't ask me anything about it. All i know is that it is pretty timeconsuming).
crimson like King Crimson? I wouldn't call that metall (at best jazzrock or jazz or rock)
I don't think i know another band called crimson.
I do like metal though, so it was a good pointer anyway.

Yes, King Crimson. I think of them as a precursor to heavy metal. (I admit there's enough variety in their music that they might be a precursor to other genres, too.)
Thanks for the link. I can compare the commands in the script to the directions I followed, and maybe I'll see where I went wrong. Maybe I'll try the script in vbox, where I can spare an entire disk without worry.

That sure surprises me. I would never have seen it like that.
But then: i barely know people who listen to them.
Post back if you can come up with anything regarding the gentoo script. As soon you look at it, of course.
I still think going for funtoo and using a more broad kernel, like the debian one, might make it more easy, but i ain't got much interest in fiddling these days.
