Don't take my word as gospel but Gutsy is both, according to the Linux Action Guys, a standout distro and really easy (comparatively) for installing (available) proprietary drivers. If you could get it with Fiesty, I would be really surprised if you can't get it Gutsy and in even a more automated way. I don't know that studio version. Is that for media centers, or just media heavy users. Is there a Gutsy studio? If no Gutsy studio it may be because the install of special drivers and codecs is so easy. Again, this is a non-expert opinion, only use if you have no other info. The Avast Windows navigator (with plug-ins) was also highly touted in the gutsy review.

Hi, When I installed Ubuntu I got the Ubuntu Studio distribution basically because I thought it looked cool, not because I am an A/V enthusiast. Now I would like to upgrade to Feisty Fawn to Gutsy Gibbon. It is my impression that this is a routine procedure, but I am curious whether my not having a plain vanilla distribution will affect this? In addition I have NVIDIA drivers and am using the Beryl window manager (which I believe gets replaced with Compiz as part of the upgrade). Does this make a difference? I would hate to have reinstall the drivers manually. Plus without them, Compiz won't have a prayer of working. Basically, I just want things to still work after the process is complete!
