I really like AVLinux and I want to thank everyone on here who's been recommending it to various people for a long time. It's a Debian remix, basically, so I'm right at home. It's solid and it has everything I need, plus it's easy to bring in the straight Debian repositories so I can put on it whatever I'm used to from Debian-land. I'm now using it on my own studio machine, and I set it up for a customer in a relatively very short time, got him up and running on an old PC with no hassles. The RT kernels from the AVLinux website worked; no tweezing required, no kernel compilation required. The docs are good. And there are nifty non-audio extras there like a whole choice of video editors, so I dipped my toes into video editing a little bit, which was fun. All in all, hooray for AVLinux, I'm impressed. -ken
Same here, I wanted to test a Ricoh host controller on a notebook with no Linux on it and didn't want to touch the partitions. So I created a bootable AVLinux USB stick. Booted and was pleasantly surprised. It's snappy and a lot of things just work. The only drawback was Jack segfaulting when I tried to stop it. But the new FireWire stack + 2.6.39 + Ricoh hostcontroller worked just fine otherwise :)
It sure blows Studio 4 out of the water ;) Best, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
