Hello list,

I want to install linux on an old laptop. What distro do you guys use? Which distro is most stable for PD work? Are some distros more suited for audio apps?

gentoo with the proaudio overlay is great. if you have an aversion to having your computer compile things for you, you could try one of the msusic-specific dsitrii lke ubuntu-studio/demudi/planetccrma/musix/studio64/studiotogo/puredyne

At the moment, I don't know the specs for the laptop.....are there recommended minimum system specs to successfully operate linux running PD?

150 mhz is probably too low

Thanks all,

Jared
