[PD] stability of Gem for video playing

[Patrick Pagano]

ubuntu has a nice LIVE CD it found everything on my G4.
the tricky part was, yes the VIDEO output for a projector/monitor
that was difficult but everything else was easy.

Yes, I can get Live CD's to run (Demudi Live) - but note that I need to 
dual boot and partition my hard drive correctly, and that was where I 
got stuck.

Additionally, I couldn't get my wireless working, and without the 
wireless, I can't get on the net, to look up Google and figure out 
what's wrong!!!

Also, I couldn't figure out how to access files on my hard drive, 
through Linux - will Linux even read my Windoze partitioned drives?

The dual-boot is a necessity, I have a lot of important music and other 
files that I've made with windows software that I really can't give up 
on. But I'd prefer, at least, to browse the web, and run PD and such, on 
Linux. Even without audio, if GEM was as stable as people say, it would 
have some interest for me, when I run live visuals (but can I get the 
output out of my laptop easy in Linux?)... I'm on a Toshiba Satellite, 
btw. I think it would be easier, if I had a desktop, but my old one 
doesn't really work it always freezes (regardless of operating system, 
must be hard drive or motherboard).
