Hi :) I 'switched' to Debian, but kept Ubuntu Studio, in other words, my machine is a multi-boot Linux computer.

Full ACK! I don't have the time to add a list with pros and cons, so the short version. Doing a minimal install of a mixed Debian stable and testing comes with many advantages compared to Ubuntu Studio, but it also has got a big disadvantage, nothing can be done automatically, you even need to know what packages to install, to get the printer working, while for Ubuntu Studio you just need to open a GUI. For Debian there e.g. is a startup script that switches CPU frequency scaling always to ondemand, if you aren't aware of 'things' like this, then you'll experience a lot of bad surprises. Regarding to my NVIDI graphics I need a mix of stable (for the graphics) and testing (for current apps), this wouldn't be an issue if pinning would work as it should do, but it doesn't. I always need to check if everything is correct, before I upgrade packages. Again, full ACK, but unfortunately it's the same for Debian. There are pros and cons for both distros. > i probably will stay with Ubuntu studio for music production, but for > my daily work, i defenitly will change to debian (testing). > Unfortunately i'm not smart enough to compile a real-time-kernl by > myself. Thats why i have to stay with 10.04 for my studio distro. As soon as I've got some time, I can write a howto compile a kernel ex 2.6.39 and how to enable 'rt emulation'. It's the same way for Ubuntu and Debian. FWIW, I attached the scripts I used to build my Debian kernels. To get the 2.6.39 emulation work, you also need to edit GRUB and note, ALSA for the kernel-rt is outdated, you might need to compile ALSA too. Hth, Ralf
