Hi and thanks for the quick response.<br><br>&gt;&gt; There are other dists than ubuntu too :) that in many cases are far better suited for audio...<br>Yeah I guess. But I&#39;m not only using my pc for audio as it&#39;s the family laptop :)<br>

Anyway I think it&#39;s my last attempt at ubuntu as I get tired of it, if think it&#39;s great to begin with but now I want something a bit more... well... stable and smaller. Something I can have easy control.<br>So which ones would you suggest for reasonable tweaking, easily maintanable, with good hardware support (as I&#39;m using a laptop) and fun to use for people who don&#39;t care about which OS they&#39;re using (meaning a cool and friendly desktop with the regular apps that one can use on other OS) ?<br>

<br>&gt; Also, there is linux 2.6.33-rt for lucid in kxstudio PPA. It is not in 
the main PPA but look for &quot;KXstudio team kernels and drivers&quot;. <br>Great thanks Pablo, I&#39;ll try this one...<br><br>&gt; Tango Studio is Ubuntu-based, dedicated to audio and has a very good realtime kernel.<br>

I&#39;ve been looking at TangoStudio earlier but it&#39;s too much audio/video oriented for me. I want something a bit more versatile (with automatic package update for instance). I don&#39;t want to bother to update my system manually.  Actually, I just use a few apps (jack, ardour, hydrogen, bristol, yoshimi plus effects) not the whole bunch so I always fear these distros (tangostudio, ubuntustudio, ..) that come with a lot of apps. I usually get lost <br>

<br>Thanks and cheers<br>jy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/11/13 Jeremy Jongepier <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:jeremy@autostatic.com">jeremy@autostatic.com</a>&gt;</span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

indeed, especially if you want to do your own system tweaking ...<br>
<br>
   ... but if you do want ubuntu you could try xubuntu instead<br>

Hello Simon,<br>
<br>
Ubuntu is perfectly suited for system tweaking, it&#39;s just another Linux distribution.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
