Hello everyone!
I'm looking for a good audio distro for a GUI-minded friend. I thought,
that Ubuntu Studio was the one, but we didn't really find something like a
live-DVD for that. My question: If I'm right and it really is Ubuntu Studio,
that I'm looking for, could someone recommend a good place to get a live-DVD.
Ubuntu Studio has not published a live DVD in several years. However, the
upcoming release, scheduled for late April, now in beta, has one.
Daily build available here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/current/
The daily build is built for AMD_64 only, the final release, as well as
the Beta1 (March 1st) will be available for several other architectures as
well.
I just booted yesterday's daily build on my laptop. jack started up
readily, as well as Ardour. The Ardour release is 2.8.2, with a copyright
date of 2009. Current release is 2.8.12 (sept 2011), so it looks like the
debian & ubuntu packagers haven't kept up...
AVLinux, which was mentioned by another, is only available for i386.
