Media apps seem to be much better supported in Debian/Ubuntu than in
Fedora. That's my two bits.

just curious... why switch from fedora to ubuntu?

The Debian tools make it quite easy and manageable to build your
own kernel.
Try that before switching :)

Ahh, livna....
You know, know that i have convinced my Fedora friends to switch to
Ubuntu,
what do I tall them when i go back? :o)
I'll take a look at it, and also at home-brewing a kernel. Maybe
that's the
way forward.
Thanks,

Then you have to add Fusion free+non-free (maybe livna?) to your
repos.
2010/9/13 András Murányi <[email protected]>:
Hhh, switching distro seems harder than moving to another country
sometimes... :o)
I heard that some non-free stuff if missing from Fedora, does
CCRMA have
these? Like some proprietary codecs, etc...
2010/9/13 Bernardo Barros <[email protected]>
yes, planet_ccrma is a repo for the Fedora/CentOS/RedHat family
I like it
2010/9/13 András Murányi <[email protected]>:
Hmm, hmm. That means switching to Fedora, right?
2010/9/13 Bernardo Barros <[email protected]>
Planet CCRMA offers rt-kernel for x86_64 systems. Give it a try.

Hi, usually I install the 64 bits version of, but the last
time,
I
dont remember why : ) (maybe to avoid any problems) I
installed
the
32
bits version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Is a repo of pd-extended for
10.04
available?
And about the 32 vs 64 bits, what are your choices? And what
about
distros? Pure:dyne seems more lightweight with his xfce
desktop,
however I have a good processor (core 2 duo intel e7200) and
2gb
of
ram, planning an update to 6gb, so I dont know if xfce is a
must
for
me.
Im a "veteran" gnu/linux user, but the last years I was
using OS
X
and
W7 for music making. In Linux I want to use pd, Renoise (its
available
as 64 bits too), and wine for some vsts.
Hi There,
I'm sort of a veteran too (started on IBM AIX in 1992, used Red
Hat
for
a
long time, then went back to Windows 98, later XP, which i
gave up
finally a
few years ago).
I'm using vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with Gnome (and 2GB of
memory),
and my
impression is that it's not the WM that makes things slow,
but in
the
case
of Pd, it's Pd itself. Read the archives on GUI<->core
communication
and
Tcl/Tk weirdnesses. The 64-bit version of Pd is quite tidy now,
well
actually there was a time when it seemed to me a bit slower
than
the
32-bit
version, but AFAIK there's no reason for that any more (?)
With a decent CPU and that huge amount of RAM you (will)
have, it
really
cannot be a question of WM whatsoever. Of course, the system
has
to
be
tuned
for realtime, undisturbed audio usage, which may include
getting
rid
of
eye-candy functions, but i never experienced a problem with
those.
After
all, they use openGL, don't they?
The same stands for pure:dyne; at the core it's a linux kernel,
and
what
you
install on (or remove from) the top, it's up to you.
The only thing i'm missing here on 64-bit is the RT kernel.
Once i
find
a
nice quick way, i'll grab it, but i'm not really into home-
brewing
my
kernel. :)
