hmm, no luck
well, the instructions don't cover macs, and only talk about a installation from a pen drive with a windows software (it's ok, I got parallels, but I don't have a big enough pen drive). I tried using the software to burn the image into a partition from an external hard drive, but the windows software gave me a warning it wouldn't boot, and in fact it didn't. Next, tried burning the image to a DVD in an external Drive and boot from it... No deal. It even shows as an option to boot (although the DVD is as "windows"), but when you click it, it says "no bootable device - press any key"
This seems hard, I was hoping not to have to buy a pen drive just for it. Maybe some other distribution?
Thanks

I don't test Shumamis in Mac.. Please give me a feedback! ;)

Sorry... Reply all...
Ok.. Shumamis don't have Ardour pre installed, I use it in music and tecnology workshops I do.
To install ardour:
Press Ctrl+Alt+T , it will open terminal.
run in terminal: sudo apt-get install ardour3
it is!

cool, so it seems I dont need to bother with "hardcore configuring" using a "not so easy one" like slackware? I'll give this Shumamis a try, but I don't see ardour there though. Did you install this on a mac? I'm downloading the 64 bit version. I got a previous generation macbook air. Dual core i7 1.8GHz. 4GB Ram
cheers

Maybe I can be wrong, but to work with pd in realtime performances you will need a kernel patched with rt features. At least low-latency kernel.
I'm start to do a little distro (Ubuntu 12.04.2 based) it in portuguese. You can try it. Shumamis Linux Light have included with qtractor DAW and Ardour 3 is very easy to install. http://shumamisll.tumblr.com/
This distro is a remaster of a DreamStudio: http://www.dickmacinnis.com/dreamstudio/
If you don't like Unity windows manager, you can use KXstudio: http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/
All these distros use KXStudio repositories, and have low-latency kernels preconfigured. If you need a realtime kernel, you can install easily. All these 3 distros are Ubuntu 12.04 LTS based.
With Jack, at now, I don't have problems using Shumamis Linux Light.

I'm ok with soundflower for that matter, although jack is more powerful than soundflower...
thanks
