Hi. I installed F10 recently + Planet CCRMA real time kernel with no problems.
It took me a while to figure out how to install nvidia GPU drivers to be able
to use native resolution of my monitor and hardware 3D acceleration but except
for that everything works out of the box. The only problem with audio is that
PULSAUDIO doesn't see my HDMI audio output, only the analog one. There is a
(not perfect) way to fix that (and I read that the new pulseaudio update will
solve the problem properly) but I can just use the analog out and for music
software I can use my Saffire (works with jack+ffado) or Photon x25 (works out
of the box). I only compiled the latest PD vanilla on this system but I think
there is also a binary of pd-exended available to download from puredata.info
For the Ubuntu studio I have to say that I don't have any personal
experience but I've been watching their mailing list and it seems that a lot of
people are having problems with the 9.04 + real time kernel. If you want to
work with audio then I think is better to go with Hardy.
I definitely reccomend F10 and if could share my experience with getting the
graphics card drivers with the CCRMA kernel if you encounter any problems.
all the best

Hi,
since the release of F9 I look at the audio part of Linux - I
personally find it a complete disaster and 'user-hostile' to be
polite. Many on this list are software specialists, so please don't
look down on someone who doesn't want to follow 3 pages of
instructions of how to make pulse audio work 'on top of' ALSA -
especially if there are follow-ups on the relevant forums that they
still don't have any signal output.
My laptop currently runs F9 (or WinXP) and works is an mp3 player,
full stop. From posts on the fedora list I understand that my
situation is even better than many others who don't even get that to
work.
My question is, how does Ubuntu studio compare to Fedora? Before I
start doctoring with my laptop and install Ubuntu 9.04 instead of F9
I'm scratching my head.
Thanks for any comments.
Best
Jurgen
