Svend-Erik! Why do you want a 64 bit distribution? I'd say on a small notebook the downsides of using a 64bit distribution are greater than the advantages.

I know from hard everyday experience that 1.4GHz 64bit single-core are almost twice as fast as 2.4GHz 32bit dual-core with math/science calculations. 'Nuff said. For anything else please read my past posts to this topic...

Svend-Erik, If you have xruns with that hardware, it is a problem with your setup and has nothing to do with the distribution. You should identify the causes and deal with it first. E.g. if you have xruns with the CardBus + multiface, I would first check wether your CardBus controller shares it's interrupts with something else and address that problem.

Hi, 64studio it's debian with a RT kernel so IMHO there's no need in using it when you can have a brand new debian lenny and adding the rest. I have a lenovo R61 and it works perfectly even with the poor intel onboard audio card. Compile/patching a kernel it's quite easy following this good tutorial (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Low_latency_howto) in order to obtain a RT one. Debian has also a kernel-package suite to build kernels and generate a debian archive (.deb) Wireless tools and other wireless related pkgs are in debian, you only have to be sure to load the proper kernel module for your wireless card when booting. Ardour can easily be installed using subversion (http://ardour.org/download_full) and following the howto at http://ardour.org/building That's my belief as debian fan but if you don't like the "debian way" have a look at http://ccrma.stanford.edu/ regards raffaele 2009/1/5 Svend-Erik K Madsen &lt;sv-e(a)sv-e.dk <mailto:sv-e@sv-e.dk>> Hi I have been around several distributions for my music makeing. What I need is a steaddy distribution for music makeing and some support for wireless etc... I allways seems to end up using 64Studio it's the only distribution I can use without haveing a lot of x-runs, but I can't get my wireless netcard working. My hardware is a Lenovo T61 and RME Multiface + PCMCIA card. I'm a noob in compiling my own kernels so I'm most confident using pre-compiled kernels, is there any help to get out there :) Hope this was understandable. /Sv-e _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org <mailto:Linux-audio-user@lists.linuxaudio.org> http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user

I should have build my chroot build env on an external HD instead. Oh well, it's almost done and soon I will (hopefully) have a 2-pound, tiny softsynth (an Asus EEE) that fits in a backpack. I hope.

Hi I work with the kernel issue now, but seem to be stuked in a documentation fault. <cut> make[1]: Forlader katalog '/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26' /usr/bin/make EXTRAVERSION=-rt-200811111930 ARCH=i386 \ -C Documentation/lguest make[1]: Går til katalog '/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26/Documentation/lguest' cc -Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -O3 -I../../include lguest.c -lz -o lguest lguest.c:34:18: error: zlib.h: Ingen sådan fil eller filkatalog make[1]: *** [lguest] Fejl 1 make[1]: Forlader katalog '/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26/Documentation/lguest' make: *** [debian/stamp/build/kernel] Fejl 2 </cut> Sorry for the Danish version of my Lenny but it's there I live ;) it's all about a missing zlib.h and lguest.c What do I need to install beside the kernel source and the rt patch, before I can make the rt-kernel, some kind of documentation source ? Thanks in advantage, and for reading /Sv-e

I compiled by following this guide: http://paulsundvall.blogspot.com/2008/11/compile-realtime-kernel-in-debian-… It ended up with an installable deb kernelfile. I can boot on it and start up jack and get it running, but my midi seems to be non working.

Isn't there a howto for dummies regarding what to choose and setup for DAW use, during "Make Config" besides the 3 issues in the guide i followed ?
