Hi!
Can anyone help me with minicomputers that run acceptably with Ubuntu + PD (GEM)? some experience?
Consider that as these machines can achieve a good performance?

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...

The PDP-11 series started in jan.1970, and the PDP-1134 itself was actually released in 1976.

There are a few of here Jordi for whom "minicomputers" is to computers what minigun is to gun. :)
I have tried Pd with many kinds of mini-itx and small form factor board out there, and just about anything you buy these days above 1.6GHz with integrated GPU runs excellently with Pd.
As Ubuntu continues to get heavier I heartily recommend you look at stock Debian Squeeze with a lite window manager if you want to use the machine for artistic work, rather than as a general purpose desktop.
The better question to ask is do people know of any hardware configurations to avoid.
For example: I had a tough time getting a new I7 with sandybridge graphics adapter to work without having to upgrade kernel.

as a system administrator i think "Debian squeeze" is a great distribution to run my servers.
as an artist working with multimedia content, i would rather go with something more "experimental", namely "Debian wheezy" (aka "testing"). in reality i usually run "Debian wheezy/sid" (aka "testing/unstable"), but then i'm doing debian development and the like (so this might be a bit too "hot" for ordinary users)
wheezy usually has up-to-data packages, e.g. you get Pd-0.43.1
note however, that since testing is a moving target, you might get masses of updates every other week.

and you can make installing and maintaining "Debian wheezy/sid" quite a bit easier by using aptosid to install it, I've found their installer and kernel quite good at recognising new hardware, and their manual pages very helpful in describing basic methods to configure Debian. The xfce version is reasonably minimal.
They install almost pure Debian sid, with their own kernel (but switching to the stock debian one, or something else, is quite possible) ... while maintaining a small repository of current bugfixes, keeping a few packages on hold while their updates are problematic, and maintaining a good warning system for updates.
