hello first let me say that even though I've been sub'd to this list a short time I've been very impressed with the level of signal to noise as well as the thoughtful and considerate answers given to questions
that being said, I've been a Ubuntu user since 4.10 mostly on PPC - until an upgrade hosed Ubuntu on my iBook then I got too busy with my music career to maintain Linux on PPC - the audio never worked on PPC anyway so I went back to my PB G4 and coding in Max/MSP I was at BEK in Bergen Norway last spring when a teacher there turned me on to UbuntuStudio I was thrilled to see this but I knew Ubuntu development was pretty much stopped for PPC - no longer a supported platform so I couldn't run the latest Ubuntu on my PB I know I could run Debian PPC but that is another debate I really wanted to get back into Ubuntu again but I was just too busy touring and didn't have enough money to afford even a Dell refurb'd laptop then the appearance of cheap netbooks prompted me to buy a mini9 running Ubuntu I wanted to see if I could use a netbook as a supplementary laptop for my performances so here is my situation and question: I'd like to use my Dell mini9 for one or two two tasks: situation: - run audio from Max/MSP into the mini9 - running baudline - which is then projected via a beamer during performance - run a 4+ tracks in Ardour as an ambient 'bed' while I improvise in Max/MSP on my PB G4 FWIW: having a RT Linux kernel is not important to me as I don't expect to use the mini9 for tracking or precise midi control q: I'm curious if there are any musicians on the list who have UbuntuStudio running on a netbook and if so what the limitations are for them thanks again for running a great list! :) -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
