Well said, sir.

I've seen a lot of buzz on the list lately about
Multimedia Based Distros and Addons that make
working with Rosegarden and Jack Audio a little
easier.
I've been using KXStudio for the past year without
a hiccup. It's an addon for Ubuntu and Kubuntu but
also claims to be workable with other d
I will second this recommendation. Another nice touch is the ability to
run PulseAudio as a Jack client, which means using KXStudio, I never
have problems with applications not able to produce sound.

Last I tried KXStudio, it wouldn't run on any of my main audio systems
because it requires the processor have the PAE extensions, which mine don't.

Sorry to hear that, but you must be running some
pretty ancient or oddball hardware for that to be
an issue.
Personally I have it running on two desktops with
Q8300 and one laptop with T4200 Intel multicore
CPUs.
All of them run flawlessly. I learned my lesson
and stopped buying AMD CPUs after Y

Ubuntu Studio 12.04 defaults to XFCE I believe. I've been using it for
a while now with great success. Didn't take much of a test ride to
boil down Unity though.
12.04 finally has a proper real time pre-emptive kernel again after
going through a bit of a rough patch for a release or two.

Perhaps you shouldn't even bother with Linux at all, pay for Window

This is your decision but do not forget that freedom comes at a price. It can
be paid by actively coding (whole apps or just patches), or by investing some
time for making things work, or many other ways. You may cho
