[PD] pd clicking with jack/linux

[Derek Holzer]

I run PD as root (not sudo, but real root) for click-free operation. But 
Ubuntu has this weird thing where you can't be root, you can only sudo. 
Very strange... anyways, worth a try.

I also use fluxbox with very little else going on in the GUI. Spent 
almost a year tuning Linux to get really optimum performance for live 
gigs and recording situations, really the idea is that less is more. 
Ubuntu/Red Hat/SuSE etc just have too many processes (especially 
graphical ones that cause interruptions) running at once, IMHO.

best,
D.
