Hi,

I'm, again, going to try to step into linux world, and see if I can do  
something more useful with it than visiting webforums this time.

I wanted to ask if someone had any tips for the following configuration to  
work with Pd (both vanilla and extended), and maybe later also  
supercollider, both only for audio:

- ibm thinkpad r51
- Ubuntu 7.10
- rme multiface
- intuos3 tablet
- arduino board (old model)

Any hints useful for these specs? Are there any guides worth visiting?  
Which repositories should I be checking? How to get -1ms latency? Does  
Ubuntu studio makes a difference? Why is jack so complicated to start? Is  
ardour already working? (last time I saw it in the school's studio, the  
only way to have a session open for a long time was not to touch it) ...  
... . .  .

I'm not a beginner with computers, but I'm not yet very at ease in unix  
console, because quite soon it gets very frustrating - although I would  
like to learn, but don't have time to be spending on man pages. And I  
don't do emacs, or won't go straight to debian.

Thanks for your help,

João Pais
