[PD] linux best for pd? / "best linux" for Pd? / On a Mac?

[Gerhard Lang]

I'm on ubuntustudio 13.04 and kxstudio 12.04.1, 64bit. But only pd-l20rk 
runs to my satisfaction. All other pd variants make troubles with 
toggling dsp here on different  stationary machines and laptops. pd (and 
all other audio processing) without jack is no go for me.
