[NTLUG:Discuss] [OT] sort of hardware compatibility questions

[Bobby Wrenn]

Well we made it back from the jungle in Papua New Guinea. Thanks to 
suggestions from the group I was able to use Linux exclusively for my 
audio recording work. Let me know if you want to know more about what we 
were doing.

I learned a lot about what not to do when operating high power laptops 
in a jungle environment. I learned that anything including glass will 
mildew given enough heat, humidity and time. And when recording in a 
grass house the rooster next door is your worst enemy. I did get my 
revenge by eating him on the last day before we left the jungle.

Anyway to my questions. I need help putting together the system I will 
take with me next year. First I won't take a high powered laptop. I need 
something that can handle the audio recording and sips energy. Also need 
noise canceling mics and anything else that might help with audio 
quality and can run on batteries powered by solar panels. And of course 
it has to be supported on Linux.

If you know about audio recording hardware/software and would like to 
help with this project please contact me off list.
