Ted: It surprises me to have this particular machine referred to as "low-spec hardware", though compared to most new machines, it could be considered that. It's 32-bit i386, a Dell Dimension DX-1100, with a 2.5 gigahertz processor (single processor), with 1 gigabytes of RAM. I have (in the past) successfully recorded MIDI with Rosegarden using a 450 megahertz machine (which I still use, and can run tests on, if you wish). Just don't ask me to build Rosegarden on that particular machine! That particular machine (450 megahertz) successfully runs Qsynth and the Java Sound Synthesizer. So, it seems surprising that a 2.5 gigahertz machine would be considered low-spec. Yet, as I think about it, it was running Ubuntu 12.04 Unity desktop, and that will make any machine a low-spec machine. I used that partition for both generating Rosegarden and doing the test recording. I use Lubuntu now for most everything, on all of my machines, as well as UbuntuStudio, which I recommend for my users. The same machine running Lubuntu is visibly faster than Ubuntu/Unity-desktop. -- Sincerely, Aere ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
