It's up to 13.04 right now (I am still on 12.04 LTS), and essentially maintains full compatibility with plain Ubuntu. as they are all released together. -- Brett W.

Seems like there are few if any network drivers enabled in the Ubuntustudio Kernel. This is why I installed straight Ubuntu and added the music programs I use. Networking issues is a huge deal breaker in my environment. That's strange, it should have everything Ubuntu has in terms of networking support. I use Ubuntu Studio on multiple machines, including a laptop with wireless, and networking has always worked out of the box. -- Brett W. McCoy -- http://www.brettwmccoy.com You're right, that is strange. My company has two Ubuntu Studio machines connected to our Linux cluster. The cluster itself consists of mostly Debian boxen but there is a CentOS machine in there. Some Knoppix machines are also sometimes coupled in. We use fixed IP addresses which is a requirement of some of the back-end video rendering software we use. Initial setup is a bit tedious but the combined grunt of the cluster is formidable.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Rosegarden friendly distros
I tried MusiX-2 and it was the first time I could get Rosegarden to work really. There seemed to be no support at that time and I let it go. Also tried Ubuntu-Studio-12.04 and it worked fine but having been spoiled I have a hard time doing what I want in any Debian-based system so I keep it as a stby. My primary system is OpenSuse which is very easy and clean to use but Rosegarden could not be used on it at all with Jack until version 12.2 when the devs really put it all together eventhough Suse is not known as a MM strong distro. I now CAN set it all up with Qsynth, qjackctl, Zyn (and Pulse uninstalled). There is one residual pissoff issue withit it though and that has to do with jack connections I think. A lot depends on the shutdown sequence, I ususally disconnect all in qjackctl and then shut down the apps in the group. If I mess this part up, or every time some of them just crash, then a real mess ensues requiring at a minimum a KDE reset, sometimes SEVERAL complete reboots on az Asus Crosshair-IV system with two onboard sound devices. KDE seems to be screwed up as to which can or cannot be used until it gets sorted out after several reboots. Now that I've heard about MisiX-3 I'll sure check it out too. Meanwhile I 'd love to see one of the RG devs adopt OpenSuse as that would likely make my life easier :-) -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
