For a long time, I used Studio64 but it wasn't being updated and I was running into driver issues on new hardware installations. In August, I installed XUbuntu and added all of the music programs I use but have been really unhappy with Ubuntu. There have been stability issues and frequent loss of communication to software synthesizers. Before I do my next round of compositions, I want to ditch Ubuntu.Does anyone have a recommendation for an audio distro? Remember, I am doing this with middle school student so stability and consistency are paramount. Personally, I have been a suse person for several years but there are a couple of quirks to doing digital audio and MIDI on suse that I don't mind dealing with myself but don't want to spring on my students.Thanks.Dave > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Everyone hates slow websites.

I use two different computers for my elementary school classes. Both my laptop and amdx6 dual boot. Both run AVL 6.0.1b. Desktop also runs 12.04 LTS because I needed smartboard drivers and at the time, 12.04LTS was the way to go. Since some time, I find AVL 6 works as well. AVL is debian. Its rock solid and very stable. The laptop also runs the most bleeding edge ubuntu 13.10 daily. My reason to have AVL 6 on both computers is because when students are in my room, its just got to work. And JACK runs much better on AVL. Could be debain and/or stable branch. Also the people behind AVL are very cool and support is great. At least the best I have experienced in the computer world. ** Try AVL 6. http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=avlinux That is my recommendation.
