I think the current Ubuntu, the 9.10, is indeed performing well, I installed for a friend recently. But Ubuntu had some problems since 8.04, in 8.10 midi was not working well and 9.04 gave graphics problems with Intel chips. The only distribution that ever wowed me was 64Studio with incredible performance out of the box. But I left it because it became to outdated for me, I needed more current libraries to program with etc. Cheers, Malte -- ---- media art + development http://www.block4.com follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/herrsteiner or face the book: http://www.facebook.com/herrsteiner _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
