[PD] OT : Ubuntu/Fedora opinions (relative to Pd, of course)

[Lao Yu]

Hi,

since the release of F9 I look at the audio part of Linux - I  
personally find it a complete disaster and 'user-hostile' to be  
polite. Many on this list are software specialists, so please don't  
look down on someone who doesn't want to follow 3 pages of  
instructions of how to make pulse audio work 'on top of' ALSA -  
especially if there are follow-ups on the relevant forums that they  
still don't have any signal output.
My laptop currently runs F9 (or WinXP) and works is an mp3 player,  
full stop. From posts on the fedora list I understand that my  
situation is even better than many others who don't even get that to  
work.
My question is, how does Ubuntu studio compare to Fedora? Before I  
start doctoring with my laptop and install Ubuntu 9.04 instead of F9  
I'm scratching my head.
Thanks for any comments.

Best
Jurgen
