I cannot recommend anything else. Trust me. I don't trust you :-) Well I trust you had bad experiences with 8.10 of which I also heard bad things (still on 8.04 here). I used to run debian with openbox, but when my last laptop died I decided to try ubuntu 8.04 on the new one. I was very skeptic in the beginning, but actually now I can't get the same performance with debian (has it installed on a second partition) on the new laptop. I even run gnome with compiz, and had stable RT performance with 10ms latency over firewire. Can run lower, but at high performance the clients start to misbehave. My current feeling is that some of the general recommendations like "stay away from gnome" and "ubuntu sucks for realtime audio" apparently aren't universally true. And I must admit the point where hacking around on the box to *perhaps* press latency a few ms is over for me. I make music (something I'm very fond of), both live and recording/sequencing/softsynthing at home without a hickup, and I didn't even compile the kernel myself. -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk http://virb.com/atte _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
