Hi,
Is it possible to boot an linuxaudio distro from live usb and work
with JACK, Ardour etc.? How good or bad will the performance be? For
example for giving a workshop about Linuxaudio on Windows computers?
Totally possible. The perfomance will vary with the tasks you are doing.
Recording 32 tracks of 48000hz audio in ardour to a USB thumbdrive might
not work so well. Running softsynths and some other apps that do not
rely heavily on disk streaming should work fine..
You might also want to consider to INSTALL a linux distro to the USB
stick instead of just booting some live image. This way you can setup
stuff..
Imagine that the teaching room with windows computers should be left as
it was. Installing on usb needs changes in the bootmenu/grub right, so
you get some sort of dualboot. How easy and risky is it to undo that?
