<span style="font-family: Verdana"><pre>Hello<br /> <br /> <br />> That's what I don't like about Ubuntu <br />>Studio, you have to wait 6 months to get to use 3 or 5 versions ahead of <br />>Ardour, for example. Also they don't want to include any other app that is <br />>not authorized by the official repository and it seems that including <br />>specialized audio apps is not their first priority (PD-extended or Csound5 <br />>for example).<br /><br />Yes quite clumsy that is. Especially the latter - there is no reason to exclude apps like slag or phasex from the repos.<br />But I think, that Ubuntustudio is no priority for Ubuntu/Canonical - because a real audio/video powerstation is indeed NOT the perfect Desktopsystem for the beginner. <br />So the people from the easy ubuntu usability everything nice and easy department seem to think.<br />Ubuntustudio is indeed not much more then a theme for Ubuntu.<br />So I use Xubuntu itself and compile
the packages that I miss myself (recent Ardour, Phasex etc)<br /> <br /> <br /><br />>Personally, I don't need the latest and greatest... I need a computer that <br />>will record audio tomorrow... anything beyond that is a bonus.<br /><br />Dont be so modest ;-)<br />This I could do with Suse 7.3 back in the mists of the 20iest century.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />Most home studios I know are centered around stability... or at least a fear <br />of change. :) <br /><br />The Version of Ardour, that is available via the repos is NOT as stable as a recent version. If Bugfix-Releases do not go into the repos, stability is weakened, not upheld.<br /><br /> <br />_________________________________________________________________ <br />See what youre getting into
