[PD] Which Linux distribution are you using?

[Ricardo Lameiro]

As Far as I tested it, yes. I tried 10.10 with a FA-101 and without RT kenel
and already with the new FireWire stack/FFADO i could achieve 8 ms latency
with a ricoh chipset. so for now it seems it is going very nice. altough
much improvement is needed. Ubuntu studio team is working on workflows and
and in some modifications for the next release (natty /11.04). If you want
to tes the Alesio's RT kernels you can join the mailing list. For now, RT
kernels will be provided via PPA repositories, so debugging and testing is
very needed, more when people push hard the system, like with PD :D
Ubuntu Studio team is commited to bring together most people connected to
multimedia and working upstream, and mainly with debian multimedia. Also I
should remeber that Ubuntu studio is a community version, with some help
from canonical, (servers, QA, and some more stuff).
