What programmes do KJ's use on their portable Hoster machines?

[Garry A. Leslie]

Hello All out there,
Further to previous threads posted
I now have my home built portable PC up and running and have installed the Hoster programme on it.
Its got a Nvidia Geoforce motherboard, 2x 256MB sticks of memory for the dual display, an AMD XP2600 CPU with Barton architecture, 2x 80GB hard disks, one running from the PCI Raid card (Thanks Flip for putting me on to this), XP Pro and a Plextor CD drive.
I have an Audigy sound card but didn't fit it, at present I am quite happy with the motherboard's built in card, maybe in the future.
All apparently running smoothly.
Haven't used it at a Gig yet mainly because I'm chicken of anything going wrong and I haven't put all my CDG disks into the database yet, only the most popular ones.
I wonder if other portable PC or laptop users use only Hoster on their systems when they are KJing or whether they feel they need to use other programmes, i.e. the Microstudio Suite, Office, Word, etc.
Your thoughts please as I know how quickly hard drives get filled, however large they are, and the chance of conflicts and crashes the more programmes you use on them
What is the best way to use the system?
Regards from the UK
