Among the âpretty sweet new featuresâ that distinguish Xsan 2, Chris Foresman  points to the new MultiSAN feature, which âgives simultaneous access to multiple volumes that are hosted by separate controllers.â Xsan 2 âalso allows file copies from one SAN volume to another directly over FibreChannel for a significant speed boost.â In addition, Foresman points to the redesigned admin tools that simplify setup and to Xsan 2âs tighter integration with Open Directory, Mac OS X Leopard, and Server Assistant on Leopard server.

The eagerly-awaited Ubuntu Studio has been released, adding another entry into the expanding list of multimedia-optimized Linux distributions. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but interested readers can peruse some installation screenshots or check out the latest news and information on the Ubuntu Studio Wiki.

Ardour 2.0 is now available for download. This version is a significant improvement over the 0.99 series (1.0 was never released), with many new features and enhancements to performance and stability. The following article profiles the new Ardour as I employed it for three projects, all involving the program in the processes of composition and arranging as well as the more typical tasks of recording and editing. I've described each project in some detail, and each description includes a link to the final audio output.

Add-in eSATA ports for laptop Macs Review The External Serial ATA add-on interconnection standard (eSATA) is becoming more common on systems as users seek greater data transfer speeds. Macs are often among the first to get new technologies like these, but eSATA ports remain absent. For ExpressCard 34-equipped laptops at least, here's one answer.â¦
