Installation is no problem since it is a 32bit OS.
Regarding the 64bit, installation is simply impossible, or it must tinker fully its OS to make it compatible, and yet ... (Several tests on 64bit Linux distro).
An Internet connection is required to activate the software.
Otherwise, I turn on an Ubuntu 4.12 32bit PAE, and no worries.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
GP6 is installed on my laptop ASUS N53J because my fixed in Ubuntu 11.10 64bit and poses too many problems with this app). Core i5-450M, 4GB RAM, OS Ubuntu 4.12 32bit PAE.
Level performance, nothing to say, never any lag even on tabs more than 10 tracks. GP6 is a little space in RAM. According to my tests, to have very good perfs, one must have mini 2GB of RAM for Linux, and 3GB for a Seven.
The software works well, a crash from time to time but it is fairly rare, and often after several hours of use. An application restart and go again, where one was (GP6 made backups of itself and as a measure of mods).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since the first day of its release, I am very pleased overall. The sound quality of different instruments is excellent, and can be adjusted through different equalizer really well made. This is a very professional software vaiment worth its price. In addition, consistent with the three major OS (windows / mac / linux).
I tried the free software "tuxguitar", but it still has quite a delay relative to GP6.
I still regret not taking care of 64bit on Linux, which is still annoying considering the performance of current machines (and thus the generalization of 64bit systems).
Some random crashes may be a little annoying, but nothing too serious, and it's still very casual.
I also regret the lack of this app followed by developers: Updates too few and hence the bugs rarely, if ever corrected! And upgrade requests, notament for 64bit, are simply being forgotten.
I would do anyway this choice, this software is essential to me to me and other members of my group.
