RE: [PD] Red Hat 9 and PD - RH9 is rubbish-7.3 is not - Pd-list

25 Feb 2004

      Planet CCRMA's Fedora Core1 is working just fine here for me on

a bit of an older machine (Athlon 1Ghz, 384mbs of ram, Geforce 3,
midiman 4/10). I use PD with both alsa and jack. I seem to get much
better performance with jack (little or no drop outs, unless I make FVWM
do something funky). I think the trick with any of the bigger desktop
targeted distros is to really turn off as many of the startup deamons
you can. Don't need to print? Turn it off. No need NFS? Turn it off!
This take a bit more time and patience (and to be honest I

havn't been able to get to all of the one I would like to and I still
get good performance out of my machine). Its really all about tweaking
your system to work for your set up.

Hi
i feel like the sole defender of redhat these days but 7.3 works
like a dream for me
turning of "Nautilus" on my laptop got me even more speed
pd with ALSA, midiin, GEM all work
i tend towards GEM G4 now because it seems more closely related to
the work i want to be doing
But redhat 9.0 might be rubbsh but 7.3 is not. It really just
matters what you want to do.
Anything after 7.3 seems to try to be the M$ of linux but i have
always felt that if you get a good linu/unix book that works for
what you need one must avoid the lure of teh upgrade for a while.
