Thanks, I'll remember that tip.
Any advice from the experts before I try the
64-bit install ?
The only two issues I know about is that you should avoid ext4 for now and you
might experience (I did) system freeze (on smp machines) with the RT-kernel.
If you get system freeze, then just add nosmp to your kernel parameter in
Grub's menu.lst and then you're ok.
I choosed to just install Kubuntu this time and then
add the RT kernel. I have
also compiled almost every music related apps (from jackd with deps and
upwards) and libs from scratch. No problems so far. The reason of compiling is
that the libs IMO tends to shortly be to old when some new plugins and apps
arrive.
I usually discard unwanted apps and build the ones I want. However, I
want to write a review of an unaltered Ubuntu Studio 9.04, so I need to
install it on some machine here. The laptop tends to be my experimental
box, but I'll install the distro on another machine if necessary.
Best,
