priorities, and find the necessary drivers and firmware, and tweak those
JACK and ALSA settings...
Ok, I run Ubuntu (recently switched from debian) and although ubuntu is
performing well and debian very well, I'm interrested in trying out a
dedicated pro-audio distro. I tried agnula once and was very
disappointed, but maybe things improved...
Looking at the list, trying to remember which name I heard the most
times, and trying to stick with something debian-based I guess I should
try out 64 studio, right?
Could you fill in these datails that I wasn't able to (quickly) loacate
on the web site:
1) What's the relation with debian? Is it based on testing or stable? Or
is it totally self contained?
2) What's the release rate?
3) Am I gonna break the whole thing when using it as a "regular" linux,
with everything that includes (wlan, 3d-accel/compiz, bluetooth,
suspend/hibernate, cups, dual monitors, all those non-pro-audio things
that tend to work well in ubuntu and seems to conflict with rock-steady
audio performance).
