Hello List,
I am relatively new to Linux audio and am trying to
decide on a distribution to use. I've been playing around with Fedora
and the Planet CCRMA packages, but I am also interested in trying out
Ubuntu Studio. I already have Ubuntu 7.10 on this machine, and I was
wondering if I really need to go through the bother of creating a new
partition and installing Ubuntu Studio from scratch, so to speak (not
that it's such a terribly onerous task, but...). If I do a simple
aptitude search for "ubuntustudio" while booted in Ubuntu a slew of
packages come up (ubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-audio-plugins,
etc.). Is there any practical difference between simply installing
these packages on my existing Ubuntu installation on the one hand, or
going to the Ubuntu Studio website, downloading the image, and
installing from there on the other? It seems as if the result would be
the same in the end, but I'm not entirely sure. Thanks!
Cheers,
Daniel
