I have Ubuntu Studio installed on the following machines:
Supermicro X7DAE dual Xeon, 3ware 9550 controller, M-Audio sound, Radeon
video
HP Envy 17T laptop, Intel i7 CPU and Intel and nVidia video controllers
Dell E6230 laptop
Server back end in the house is all FreeBSD including a 1U
firewall/router, 4U Opteron file server, 4U Opteron backup server, and
an HP tape library.
My primary machine, the X7DAE, is fitted with a pluggable carrier for
the boot device so I can do installations without bothering my
production system. With the other systems there is sufficient space to
do Clonezilla backups before test installations.
My real interest in Ubuntu Studio is as an amateur recordist using Zoom
H2N, H4N, and a Focusrite interace with 2 Samson small format condensers
(so far connected to a Macbook Pro but will be trying out Studio soon).
All recording so far is two channel so Audacity works fine.
I'm also doing rudimentary video editing using OpenShot (easy) and
looking at Cinelerra-CV (much harder).
I started with a Radio Shack 16B running XENIX/68K in 1985
(...!ncoast!siralan!mikes) and then migrated to SCO UNIX, 386BSD, and
FreeBSD. When beginning with open source operating systems I was the PC
specialist for the Indiana University Computer Science department, and
the systems staff had a very low opinion of the early versions of LINUX,
thus the FreeBSD focus.
I am a competent system administrator and have rudimentary programming
skills, but am quite experienced in installations, including those from
source (for a long time all FreeBSD installations after the initial
install were from source so compiler optimizations optimized for the
user's system could be used).
Thanks for the work on Ubuntu Studio; if it has to be laid down I'll be
sorry but understand the problems of working in a volunteer system.
