Re: Install Studio or desktop Ubuntu and/or the Server, addition.
I am not sure the rationale for installing the separate programs as adding or eliminating functionality/programs in Ubuntu is so simple. I have essentially loaded most of the Ubuntu Studio into the desktop Ubuntu in an earlier distribution, and i can't see why you cannot add in server capabilities in studio or any of the programs you are interested from desktop (are any missing?). There are a couple of GUI's currently floating around, but they are easily implemented by choice in the initial portal screen. Hi all. I'm a real newbie to Ubunto and trying to figure out how to install it. I think I'm primarily interested in the Studio version but also curious about desktop and server versions and I'm not sure if I can install them all together or if that's even possible? I've got a windows machine that I plan on using for Pro Tools and Ubuntu Studio. Currently Windows lives on an SSD as does my DAW software and I have two more drives, one for plugins and one for samples. I have a fifth drive that has 500GB I plan on using for Ubuntu Studio but what I'm not sure about is if I want install the desktop version first and then install the Studio version on top of it, or should I just install Ubuntu Studio and install the desktop and Server versions on another machine (or a live CD)? I think I should just install the studio version.Thanks in advance for any guidance about my quandary.. -- Gabriel L Romeu ø http://studiofurniture.com ø http://lessplusmore.com ø http://journalphoto.org ø http://generalmalais.blogspot.com/ ø http://offtheedge.tumblr.com/ -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

My experience has been that if you have a computer that is going to be used just for audio/visual work, then just install Ubuntu Studio straight from the disk. However, if this computer will also be used for office work, games and other stuff, it is often better to install the desktop version and then start adding individual packages, or Ubuntu Studio metapackages (although I had trouble using the audio metapackage in Oneiric). The main difference if you go this route is that you will need to remember to add yourself to the Audio user group, something which I think the Ubuntu Studio install will do automatically. My computer is used by a few people for many things, so I use plain Xubuntu with the audio/graphics packages installed. Personally, I find Unity to be unusable in its current state, so I would not recommend installing the standard Ubuntu desktop for any kind of serious work. All in all, though, there's really not a huge difference between either choice. In the past there was a lot more things to be done with real-time kernels, firewire permissions, irq threads, audio groups and so on that UbuStu often took care of on install. But a lot of that stuff is not necessary anymore. -- -Brian David -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
