Hi, Comic Cuteness hat gesagt: // Comic Cuteness wrote:

after reading about knoppix on this list, I obtained the image. it's

truly the coolest!

I also got around to try it yesterday and I can confirm it's a

pleasant suprise.

I guess knoppix uses oss because it does sound configuration with the

red hat utility -

Yes, I think that's the reason.

if I recall you can't get really low latency with oss? does pd even

work with oss?

I'm a big ALSA fan, but both of this isn't true. You can get low

latency with OSS as well and PD works just fine with OSS. Running off a CD is a lot worse latency-wise.

I'd much rather use alsa, but you know what they say about beggars.

I know somebody mentioned this before, but it would be amazing to make an audio oriented image of this. or I might have to install linux. hehe

Throwing away OpenOffice and installing PD and some other soundapps on

it wouldn't be that hard.

I'll take a closer look at how to customize Knoppix the next days and

will report here. Probably customizing is easier if one is running Debian, because that's the base for Knoppix, and I am running Debian.

ciao,
