Hey guys, I just recently posted here stating I was looking to convert my laptop for a live performance machine using linux and mostly Pd (I was thinking pd, but I said Max MSP instead). After browsing around for various distros, I chose JAD become it was the most recently updated one, was advertised to have a realtime kernel and could run with ASIO drivers. The problem was that I couldn't install it from the disk since my DVD drive is semi kaput and can really only read CDs. So instead, I opted to install openSuse 10.3 instead because they offered to install it via a net connection. Its up and running (aside from my flipping wireless! BROADCOM!!!) and I want to start some wireless work by converting it into a JAD type workstation. The problem is that JAD is based on OpenSuse10.2 and I'm running 10.3, which has me concerned. There is a guide (http://wiki.jacklab.net/index.php/3_Steps_to_JAD_for_Beginners) on how to convert Suse10.2 to jad, but I'm afraid of compatibility issues since my version is 10.3 and I don't know if the techniques described there transfer over. Furthermore, I snooped around the Jacklab repository and found a OpenSuse 10.3 folder, but as soon as I added it, I got a warning from YaST telling me the description file was broken... or something. Furthermore, is there a way to install all the audio packages at once instead of downloading them individually.
