One possibility is removing the bloat from the ubuntu system. I have
an ubuntu computer where I never have a "desktop environment" running.
Windowmaker+rox-session is as user friendly as that machine gets (if I
am doing real-time audio, I switch that out for evilwm and some
xterms). The trick is customizing .xinitrc/.xsession for a low-fat
environment, and optionally renaming some files in /etc/rc2.d/ (for
every daemon that you want to shut off, rename S<number>name to
K<100-number>name, so S16ssh becomes K84ssh etc). Another option is
keeping runlevel 2 with the default services, and customizing
/etc/rc3.d/, and issuing "init 3" for times when real-time performance
is the main priority (ie. doing a show), and leaving the default
services otherwise.
Just because gnome is installed does not mean you need to have any
gnome applications running, ever.

Hey Guys,
I started playing with Ubuntu Studio and Linux about a year ago and I now
feel that I am passed the beginner level. I don't have an indepth knowledge
of the command-line but I do know my way around, I have a good knowledge of
the way things work and I've learned the software fairly well.
Lately, Ubuntu Studio has been getting on my nerves with all the bloat. I
just want a system for digital signal processing (ie. a computer version of
a guitar pedal board) with the lowest latency possible and Ubuntu seems to
be taking up alot of space and resources.
So, I think I'm at the level where I can benefit from a stream lined, more
"user-unfriendly" system.
Firstly, do you guys think that a move away from Ubuntu Studio would be
beneficial?
Secondly, what would you guys suggest as a good alternative?
I've heard good things about Studio64 and Debian... Any advantages with
these?
I'll be installing it on a AMD64 equipped laptop. I want the focus to be on
realtime stuff but I might run a few WINE apps and maybe VSTs.
Thanks
-Chris
