I'm an Old School performer, so you won't see a computer on my stage, but I do use Linux for all my writing activities (vi rules!), and in this edition of my monthly musings I'll describe how I use Linux software for music instruction.

Well, let me show you how you can begin your career as the next famous Internet DJ with some help from RealServer and Icecast.
