>> There are other dists than ubuntu too :) that in many cases are far better suited for audio...
Yeah I guess. But I'm not only using my pc for audio as it's the family laptop :)
Anyway I think it's my last attempt at ubuntu as I get tired of it, if think it's great to begin with but now I want something a bit more... well... stable and smaller. Something I can have easy control.
So which ones would you suggest for reasonable tweaking, easily maintanable, with good hardware support (as I'm using a laptop) and fun to use for people who don't care about which OS they're using (meaning a cool and friendly desktop with the regular apps that one can use on other OS) ?

Great thanks Pablo, I'll try this one...
> Tango Studio is Ubuntu-based, dedicated to audio and has a very good realtime kernel.
I've been looking at TangoStudio earlier but it's too much audio/video oriented for me. I want something a bit more versatile (with automatic package update for instance). I don't want to bother to update my system manually. Actually, I just use a few apps (jack, ardour, hydrogen, bristol, yoshimi plus effects) not the whole bunch so I always fear these distros (tangostudio, ubuntustudio, ..) that come with a lot of apps. I usually get lost
Thanks and cheers

Ubuntu is perfectly suited for system tweaking, it's just another Linux distribution.
Best,
