Hi, finally got internet working on my ubuntu (desktop), so I might start setting up stuff here to try to move from one system to the other. For that I would like to ask some advice, if anyone has nothing better to do.
My system is: - laptop thinkpad, i386 32b - desktop thinkcentre i686 64b - rme multiface + card (using with laptop, most probably will use with both computers) - pd extended (don't use much pd-van these days) Each computer has the same sytems: XP + Ubuntu (and will keep having, except for the bit difference). They'll be used for audio (not much video going on here besides watching a dvd). What do you think might be the better approach, to use ubuntu normal, or ubuntustudio? Roman told me that for a while there's no big difference, because the -rt kernel comes with ubuntu. Is ubuntustudio more than a bundle of software with nice backgrounds? (Note: I'll use the same setup on both computers, so the system should work on 64 and 32b). Another note: what window managers do you advise? I find the simple, low-cal approach of fluxbox / enlightenment better as the sugar-puffed gnome etc. Any remarks against using any of these? By the way, one of the things that puts me off of linux is that it takes so much *'%$ time to get going. So, reliability is also a parameter. Thanks, João Pais PS: Don't know if it was noticed, but some days ago I sent out another abstraction, http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2009-01/067044.html. Or maybe it was noticed enough. -- Friedenstr. 58 10249 Berlin (Deutschland) Tel +49 30 42020091 | Mob +49 162 6843570 [email protected] | skype: jmmmpjmmmp _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
