yo, for my part, i am very positive about ubuntu. i still have ubuntu dapper installed and i changed to fluxbox, though sometimes i still run some gnome applications. all drivers have been running out of the box (inlcuding video drivers, wireless and all that stufff); no issues with binary firmware of any hardware; getting realtime priority for pd and jack wasn't complicated at all; i get can 7ms roundtrip latency, if i want; i never had the feeling, that it takes too much time to start pd (though, i usually load only the libs needed); and i have also only 512MB RAM. for all that, i wouldn't know why to use a distro, where it requires much more effort to get things working. this is just the experience i had, that doesn't necessarily apply to everyone else. my two cents roman > i'd recoment you slackware - the latest release (12) now has > HAL and 2.6.12 kernel ..it didn't have either before for a reason .. > > well .. it's up to you which distro to run .. but some of them aren't > designed to run on older hardware (such as suse and probably ubuntu).. > > .. also may be it's a good idea to minimize the kernel (just too be sure > :) > > i'd say - i can set up a dedicated box which would have only necessary > apps on it and would take the full advantage of the hw .. but it is very > hard to explain all i would do setting it up. > > try studing more about linux, i think if you feel up for it - you'll get > to the point when you can sort it out. > > > Companies Act 2006 : http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/companyinfo > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___________________________________________________________ Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm.
