[LAU] Audio distros

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi :)

first off all, it might be another thread, I was to fast with deleting  
mail from a temporary storage, but by one of the mails I was asked  
regarding to my ambivalent claims, regarding to NVIDIA and ATI. The FLOSS  
driver's name is radeon. I won't explain this ambivalence right now,  
interpret it as "there are drawbacks by graphics of both vendors, but  
there's no alternative for my purse".

The existing one was a mess, thanks to "the transition", so I deleted the  
old install and I want to set up a new install.

_Fedora_ btw. is a distro I won't run, because I don't like to handle  
RPMs, I still have Sues 11.2 and started using Linux with Suse 9.0. I  
prefer pacman, followed by DEB.

That is something I'll test too, but while I'm only able to maintain  
around two installs, I'm also limited to the amount of distros I seriously  
can test, so for now I'll test Arch Linux, assumed installing Arch should  
work. Fortunately the German Forums are ok. IMO it's a drawback that the  
mailing list is badly moderated.

It's buggy as hell, the LTS still is ok, but Quantal already is a PITA and  
Ubuntu seems to go a way, I'm not willing to go. I'm not interested in app  
shops, Amazon etc.. Even if you can't find it for Ubuntu Studio, it's  
based on a distro that does go this way. FWIW Quantal from the Ubuntu  
Studio install media is more buggy, than Quantal from the Ubuntu install  
media + Xfce and the studio meta packages on my machine.
