< Hi all,
<
< may I ask the fellow users of 64Studio for a piece of advice?
<
< My situation is: I am working as OS developer on a video-related project,
while
< at the same time doing professional CD recording. This far, 64Studio has
served
< me very favourably since several years, because it gave me a stable reliable
< system which just works.
<
< But the fact Lenny is now the reference system for my development efforts
drove
< me into a more and more hazardous situation. Just I couldn't do anything
about
< it prior to finishing my latest CD project, which is done now. So, basically
< I've got a window of, say two months for upgrading my system such as to be
< able to keep up with the development and for doing the next recording
< projects scheduled for spring.
<
< I've noticed several people have tried to upgrade to a 64Studio/Lenny mix.
< What are the general experiences? The important question for me would be:
< Is this an option worth considering at all, or can I immediately skip it
< and look for other alternatives?
<
< - - running an AMD64 X2 in 64bit mode
< - - only doing multichannel sound with Jack/Ardour and a RME Multiface
< - - using MIDI only for controlling Ardour via a Behringer BCF2000
< - - currently running 2.6.22-1-multimedia-amd64 SMP
< - - running an ("old") ATI Radeon X300 with the open source ATI driver
< without problems; this is even sufficient to give me HD video playback.
<
< There seems to be a Jack/Libjack package for Version 0.116 in Sid. I am
< willing to do backports or compile parts myself and put some time into it,
< just if the results are worth the effort, or at least there are good
< chances that I'll end up with a stable and usable system for the next
< 1 1/2 Years. That's why I am asking for any hints, experiences, pointers...
<
< Thanks,

Hi,
I was running 64studio/Lenny mixed distro for 1/2 year and on two machines and
still running on one of them.
But both was 32bit version and on Intel not AMD. My experience is good ... some
troubles during distro upgrade but then everything fine.
Yes there is 116.1 Jack/Libjack and Ardour 2.7.1 in Sid, but not sure if for
64bit too.
There is some trouble in Alsa modules for 2.6.24 kernel (digiface,multiface
cards):

But if you will stay with your kernel it isn't problem.
I hope someone else with AMD64 machine put here his experience too.
Cheers
Mira
