I installed F10 recently + Planet CCRMA real time kernel with no problems. It took me a while to figure out how to install nvidia GPU drivers to be able to use native resolution of my monitor and hardware 3D acceleration but except for that everything works out of the box. The only problem with audio is that PULSAUDIO doesn't see my HDMI audio output, only the analog one. There is a (not perfect) way to fix that (and I read that the new pulseaudio update will solve the problem properly) but I can just use the analog out and for music software I can use my Saffire (works with jack+ffado) or Photon x25 (works out of the box). I only compiled the latest PD vanilla on this system but I think there is also a binary of pd-exended available to download from puredata.info<br> For the Ubuntu studio I have to say that I don't have any personal experience but I've been watching their mailing list and it seems that a lot of people are having problems with the 9.04 + real time kernel. If you want to work with audio then I think is better to go with Hardy.<br> I definitely reccomend F10 and if could share my experience with getting the graphics card drivers with the CCRMA kernel if you encounter any problems.<br><br>all the best<br><br>Adrian G<br><br>---- On Sun, 10 May 2009 20:26:31 -0700 <b>Lao Yu <<a href='mailto:noise.now@gmail.com' target='_blank'>noise.now@gmail.com</a>></b> wrote ---- <br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 6px;">Hi, <br clear="none"> <br clear="none">since the release of F9 I look at the audio part of Linux - I <br clear="none">personally find it a complete disaster and 'user-hostile' to be <br clear="none">polite.
