Can anyone help me with minicomputers that run acceptably with Ubuntu + PD (GEM)? some experience?
DEC's PDP-1134 would be your best bet.

It can't run Ubuntu, but it can run a fairly recent version of UNIX, to which PureData could be ported if it gets shrunk to fit in 0.000122 meg of RAM.
If the RAM is a bit too tight, don't worry, it comes with two tapedecks, as you can see in the 1st and 4th towers.
It's such a wonder of technology. Much smaller than a real computer.
It wouldn't take that many man-months of porting to get it going...
We are not living in the 80s any more. ;)
