Re: A netbook which is good for Linux Audio

[Aaron Krister Johnson <aaron@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My main computer at this point is a netbook, an ASUS EEEPC, 1000HE. It does pretty well, although I think the IRQ setup is less than optimal, since the onboard soundcard shares IRQ with the video board....speaking of which, are such things now configurable in a modern kernel, or are we stuck with hardware arrangements, however unfortunate, on such machines?

For more mission-critical RT work, etc., I use an outboard sound interface, a Lexicon Lambda, which works well, and the USB port performance and IRQ, etc. are solid, and conflict-free....

Hey guys!

Every once in a while this question is asked on the list. This time it is me. I want to buy a netbook, for it to be easy to carry around and have long battery life.
My wife has a Samsung X120, which is great. She runs Photoshop on it quite fine. But it is out of stock almost everywhere.

I was wondering if anyone of you can advice a netbook that will work well with Linux (I use Ubuntu) and yet have enough performance to work with Linux Audio.
