hi there, as I said, had no pen drive to test shumamis as they pointed, then I burned several discs (not only shumamis distro) and none would boot.<div><br></div><div>but as it turns out, my SD card on a USB adaptor works as a pen drive, so I tried burning it as required and IT WORKED...</div>
<div><br></div><div>It booted, and went into a Live CD action right from the SD-USB to my Macbook air.</div><div><br></div><div>I am actually writing this email from Shumamis.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!!!</div><div>
<br></div><div>trackpad seems to respond weird, keyboard not configured right, but other than that, it fucking works!</div><div><br></div><div>Got excited...</div><div><br></div><div>will try to sort the booting system correctly as you pointed. That sounded a bit complicated, but for the best. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Seems I will finally try out Live Electronics Performance from Pd in Linux, haha</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/5/30 Esteban Viveros <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:emviveros@gmail.com" target="_blank">emviveros@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Hi there, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Pd runs smoother in<br>
Linux than in any other OS, is that right?<br>
<br>
Perhaps some of you have run benchmarks for it with the same machine and<br>
diferente Operational Systems. I was curious to try myself.<br>

<br></div>
Can't comment extensively on that. I use Pd on Linux, used it on windows and once on OSX.<br>
<br>
One very big advantage on Linux is the possibility to run Pd with hassle-free jack, in turn easy multichannel.<br>
Not only - jack means you can directly record into a DAW (e.g. Ardour), again with multiple 'virtual' channels if you want.<div><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Now, is there a "best linux" for Pd? Maybe one that allows you to tweak<br>
in a little more to have insanely low latencies?<br>
<br>
Yeah, the whole point and interest is to try and reach an absurdly<br>
optimized latency and CPU load.<br>

Not sure about insane values, but I'm happy with debian now. Although I do very little live stuff these days. I think Pd-extended development is mostly done on debian, but I may be wrong on that.<div><br>

Now that I got myself a Raspberry Pi (my first linux) I wanna enjoy the<br>
opportunity/motivation to broaden my linux usage to my regular laptops.<br>
<br>
I use macs by the way. Don't know if that is an issue. Like being next<br>
to an impossible task to install a nice hardcore ("the best one") linux<br>
distribution in it.<br>
<br>
I've seen that recently Linux has been able to work (poorly at least)<br>
with Thunderbolt. I have an RME Multiface that seems to works well on<br>
linux. Since newer macbooks lost the PCI slot, all that I'm missing is<br>
that my thunderbolt to PCI slot adapter works in Linux. That'd be cool,<br>
to run it on my macbook air, on linux... but I digress.<br>
