music production linux distros
im currently testing various versions of linux recording distros
ill let you know the outcome of my testing here are some of the distros im testing on a dual core intel 2ghz pc with 3 gig of ram.
AVlinux – Debian based OS – recent versions – lxde desktop
http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html
KXStudio – Ubuntu Based – KDE desktop – recent versions
http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/
Ubuntu Studio – unity – recent versions
Studio64 – debian based – seems obsolete
It seems there are more but these seem mainstream, the kxstudio seems pretty good for newbies with the cadence app, Im looking at probably setting up a ubuntu studio with the kxstudio repositories so i can install cadaence and carla apps, but probably do some testing with kxstudio first … i just dont like KDE so might just put a lxde desktop or unity ontop of kxstudio …..
Ive also seen write ups of people installing from the ground up a cut down version of ubuntu with the realtime kernel which sounds like a good idea…
