- StudioDave Does A Hardware Review And Meets Ubuntu 8.10
I am satisified with this machine, and Ubuntu 8.10 is an excellent fit for the hardware. AVSynthesis runs nicely in realtime, and the rtirq script has eliminated xruns from JACK's performance. The apt system has made it easy to update the system and set up a full-featured development environment, and of course there's the whole UbuntuStudio apps collection for me to explore. I'll have more to say about my new machine and its performance with Linux audio software, so be sure to check in again soon.
