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&#39;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<br>
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).<br>

So Ubuntu 10 should be more efficient than 8.04 on the same machine?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/11/14 Ricardo Lameiro <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:ricardolameiro@gmail.com" target="_blank">ricardolameiro@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><div>

The generic Kernels are becoming more and more timing eficient, they absorbed a lot of the RT patches made by Ingo Molnar et al. I dont know why didnt Ubuntu worked on your computer. If fedora worked, ubuntu should also work.<br>

Hi List!, I use Linux Ubuntu 9.04, test 9.10 and 10.04... i prefer  ubuntu for ease and support, is confortable for replicate experiences in  the educational field. You can compile the low latency Kernel, and the aplications are good.<br>

hello,<br>
<br>
you say that you need a RT kernel : did you benchmarck the difference between a RT kernel and a standard kernel?<br>
<br>
anyway, i&#39;m using ubuntu 10.04 with no optimisation.<br>
compiling pd/Gem is very fast and easy, so i don&#39;t wait the official package...<br>
<br>

Hi all!<br>
<br>
I have realized lately that Fedora/PlanetCCRMA may not be the best linux<br>
rt distro out there in terms of updates for Pd. So I wanted to conduct a<br>
survey among pd-list members to know who is using what. It seems like<br>
Ubuntu Studio is the distro that&#39;s most frequently updated. Too bed<br>
because the last time i tried to install it on my laptop it didn&#39;t work...<br>
Any advice would be appreciated.<br>
I need a rt kernel, of course...<br>
<br>
Pierre<br>
