FWIW I've tried Intrepid with the 2.2.26 rt for AMD64 for about 10 days. In one word "don't". There's a laundry-list of things that cause the system to lock up and go braindead -- many of them video and audio driver related. But many apps appear to work on the generic kernel (performance issues aside). And many of them appear to work in the latest (Intrepid alpha 6) versions using the 2.2.19 rt kernel that is available for Hardy. I have to agree with Cory that for now Ubuntu Studio users should stick with Hardy because the 2.2.26 rt kernel is not ready to go as part of Intrepid, let alone as part of Ubuntu Studio Intrepid. That may change in the next 30 days, but I suggest letting Cory et al pull their hair out and swear at their computers dealing with the problems of 2.2.26 rt. YMMV. -- Cheers, SDM -- a 21st Century Schizoid Man Systems Theory internet music project: <www.systemstheory.net> on MySpace: <www.myspace.com/systemstheory> on Last FM: <www.last.fm/music/Systems+Theory> get "Codetalkers" *free* at <www.mikedickson.org.uk/codetalkers> NP: nothing -- 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
