Re: [linux-audio-user] ubunto + realtime performance

I have installed ubuntu on a machine (because it was the only distro that worked on that particular hardware out-of-the-box) and I cross-bred it with Demudi and Debian (which has created a whole other set of conflicts and problems). Add demudi to your apt sources and install the multimedia kernel if you don't want the hassle of patching and compiling yourself. I find that ubuntu is far less complete in terms of binary packages than Debian. I use both debian and demudi in my sources. I had some specific needs and found that ubuntu was lacking some resources. I can't really remember which they were, but off the top of my head I believe that if you compile a lot yourself and/or use less 'popular' software, Ubuntu is a little defficient. I would not advise anyone to use it for anything other than just getting one's feet wet with linux. In fact, I also installed it on my mom's computer and it's great for her needs (which are limited to playing solitaire, browsing the net, doing email and writing a journal). HTH ./MiS
