Hi all! In the past years I've allways been happy using Slackware for (professional)audio stuff,from versions 9.0 to 10.2.(never any timeconsuming (kernel)upgrades).Since I have bought a Acer 1690 laptop,that I usually don't use for audiorecording etc.,I decided to try out Kubuntu 6.06,because of the out of the box functionality concerning peripherals like WiFi,touchpad&wide screen graphics.I was able to get some of those working with Slackware ,but with great effort and some limitations though.To my great surprise it turned out that through the apt-get manager I was able to get Jack&Ardour up and running in no time,as where it always took me at least a day to get everything compiled on the good old P3/800.However,I have no idea about the lowest latencies I can get with it(with the shipped kernel)and if I want to compile things from scratch it's certainly no Slackware. Well,so far so good so nice! Just my eurocent... Enrico.
