It's slowly getting there. But I must say my recent experiences switching from ubuntustudio 8.04 to (plain) ubuntu 10.4 so far have been "suboptimal". Warning- rant follows. More constructive comments after that. ==== I'm programmer for a living, have been into Linux audio for over 6 years now, have owned my own sound studio, have written audio software that's used by a few thousand users. After 2 weeks of tweaking and tuning my new system, things *still* don't work as they should (i.e on my system at the moment they're good enough for "consumer use" but near useless for anything slightly resembling studio work). Needless to say, I'm getting bloody frustrated- starting to think I should never have tried upgrading from 8.04 in the first place. Now imagine what "normal" users would think. ==== I want to contribute, though- I'd love to see Linux being the prime OS for audio production. I don't want to take on the burden of rewriting the whole sound stack from scratch. But Toine, if you have any documentation on how stuff is *supposed* to be set up, I'll gladly test-drive it.
