I could run Ubuntu 9.04 with my quad-core AMD64 machine, but a couple of weeks ago I noticed the 9.10 upgrade was available, blithely clicked on it, it downloaded all night and, when it was ready to reboot to the new release....it died. I fooled with it in a dumb terminal mode and was able to do some simple things. Finally, using a 9.04 live disk I backed up my drive. I was never able to configure audio to my satisfaction even in 9.04. Some applications worked. A lot did not. Anyway I went to Planet CCRMA which works only with Fedora (I went with 10), and then loaded the Planet CCRMA applications. The install was smooth. No apparent problems. It is a good improvement for audio. (I also have a cheap, non-standard sound card so it should get better.) There is a real-time kernel which I have yet to install. Check it out.
