I've been out of the loop for a while, so hoping I can get some relatively unbiased opinions here as to the current state of various distros. I like ubuntu and use it for my business machine, but if Ubuntu studio is not really up to studio 64 or whatever the current competition is, I'll just do a dual boot. I'm not averse to compiling from source of other lowish level tweaking, and I definitely want super low latency. Cards are Presonus Firepod and M-Audio delta 66. Thanks! Iain
