[linux-audio-user] The best distro for music creation

[Josh Lawrence]

I think that it is very suitable, *if* you know how to create your own
kernel that allows for jack, et al to run with preemptable
capabilities.  I am not very knowledgeable with compiling kernels, so
I had to wait until someone else provided a how-to for getting my own
kernel.

Quite the contrary, I see big things on the horizon for Ubuntu.  This
might be heresy, but I would like for Agnula to merge its efforts in
with Ubuntu, thus making both distributions more complete.
