[LAU] Ubuntu Studio 9.04 Hard Lock Ups...

[jk at jasonkahn.net]

hi everyone

i'm just wondering why so many people are using 
ubuntu studio and/or ubuntu 9.04...

i'm still on ubuntu 8.04 (not ubuntu studio), 
running this on a lenovo T61 laptop for mobile 
recording and a self-built intel/asus-based 
desktop for the studio. i use ardour, audacity, 
jack, pd, etc with hammerfall sound cards and have 
experienced no lock-ups whatsoever in nearly two 
years.

my question: is there some reason to move up to 
ubuntu 9.04 or to use ubuntu studio at all? 
re-configuring a vanilla 8.04 (with real-time 
kernel, etc) was very easy (and i'm a fairly 
low-level linux user). i would suggest this route 
if people are having so many problems with ubuntu 
9.04.

just my 2 cents!

thanks!

jason
