Hi, I tried a lot:
Musix
U studio ~8.xx, with a lot of problem (xruns, wifi issue, jack stops without any apparent reason, more...) Fedora 10 /CCRMA: was great, but sometimes old version of software in repos (like pd...)
U studio again, Lucid: great, but a lot of wifi issues and some others...
Now I'm trying Tangostudio, based on Ubuntu Lucid, 64bits... seems to work great, but after installing rtirq and nvidia driver, cause I had a xrun-rain when running jack. Now it's ok. I use RME Multiface /w HDSP Expresscard and an Edirol FA-101... excepted that xruns issue, worked oob. But pd seems to have a problem with rt: with very low latencies (>15ms), I get a lot of DIO errors...

Arch is being very fine for audio/SC/PD so far. very good distro.

hello,
195.36.24 is the nvidia driver version i'm using. mainly because it's the
version shiped with ubuntu 10.04.
i don't know what 260 would offer better, but i think it's not impressive.
most of nvidia upgrade is adding support for new card.
anyway, if you don't use graphics for any important stuff, then you probably
don't care.

i'll be interested to know your impression if you try this kernel for
pd/Gem.

i'm using Ubuntu Lucid with standard kernel (64-bit), and performance in
Pd hasn't really impressed me lately... and WHOA i've just found a PPA
with RT kernel (https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa/), which i'm
very interested in - it's just that it comes with older Nvidia drivers
195.36.24 while the latest drivers from Nvidia are 260.19.21. Now does
anyone know if i'll loose anything important with this older (but
appropriately patched for RT) graphics driver? (btw i don't use graphics
for anything important...)

    hello,

    you say that you need a RT kernel : did you benchmarck the
    difference between a RT kernel and a standard kernel?

    anyway, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 with no optimisation.
    compiling pd/Gem is very fast and easy, so i don't wait the official
    package...

        Hi all!

        I have realized lately that Fedora/PlanetCCRMA may not be the
        best linux
        rt distro out there in terms of updates for Pd. So I wanted to
        conduct a
        survey among pd-list members to know who is using what. It seems
        like
        Ubuntu Studio is the distro that's most frequently updated. Too bed
        because the last time i tried to install it on my laptop it
        didn't work...
        Any advice would be appreciated.
        I need a rt kernel, of course...

        Pierre
