True - not every Debian-kompatible repo can easily be used in Ubuntu and vice-versa. But in the end near about every package, that is available for one is availabe for the other also. I had fairly good luck in 90% of the cases, when installing a DEb-Package (as a file - not accessing its repo via synaptic/apt but via dpkg). Regarding the audio-question: the main thing is the Kernel and the sytem setup. I use a third-Party-Kernel in Ubuntu Edgy Eft from a french team called ttoine: http://forum.ttoine.net/viewtopic.php?id=38 Works OK - not extreme hi performance but very good results with realworld-usage-scenarios. The most apps I installed from official universe repos, some (cinelerra) from third-party repos and some like Audacity with dpkg. Muse is build from source and so are some smaller tools like oscrolloscope and fmit. So I have modified the Standard-Ubuntu quite a lot and at the end of the day, I think, if I would have had given the same treatments to Debian, it would not be that much different. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFvcBZ1Aecwva1SWMRAmgeAKCAt0Z/FUhGy2Qt35pWHxa8GlZgkACfTNwj f8GD6F6jthqSGFJmO9y/RnQ= =DMnC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
