This got me thinking... It would be nice to have at least a list of suggestions of things that can be safely shut off that normally run all the time. For example, my desktop is set up with a static IP (so I can log in from elsewhere in the house) so why do I have the little network manager running? In fact, even with dhcp, my desktop does not have to be looking for changes in network. My netbook is different having wireless. Many of us can not upgrade our hardware every 6 months or even every two years. The ability cut out anything I don't need means (even with a fast computer) maybe one more track when I need it, or one more effect. An idea for a work flow. It would be nice to be able to set up my netbook as a remote control for the desktop. That is like a midi controller across netjack so I could control levels with something small that sits on a music stand without changing the surrounding audio space too much for those of us who both control and perform. The virtual desktop kind of control I think would be too resource hungry and maybe harder to control too. I don't know if there is already an application that does just midi controls or not. If there is, it could be added to the sound generation work flow which is already mostly MIDI stuff and includes jackd. Len ---------------------- Should Ubuntu Studio become a multimedia distro with absolute focus to audio recording and MIDI productions? I switched from Ubuntu to Debian and today, after restoring my upgraded Debian to the version I had before I installed the upgrades, I'll have a look at Arch Linux. Regarding to the DE, Ubuntu Studio might have done a good choice. Some points from my list are: - pulseaudio shouldn't be installed - at least the real kernel-rt should be included, not only preempt + threadirqs aka Rt emulation. I anyway prefer the kernel-rt + a GNU offending NVIDIA patch. I also will keep GNOME 2 for my installs. The policy of most Linux distros became a PITA. My stable DAW until now is Edubuntu 10.10 + Ubuntu Studio repositories + self build stuff and I didn't upgrade since a long time ago. Ralf
