    I'm Steve.

    Default Ubuntu Studio 10.04

    For those of you into making music on the PC (not me!) or for those into photo/ graphics (still not me!) I thought you may be interested in the latest version of Ubuntu Studio, the 'professional audio / video' version of vanilla Ubuntu.

    It sports LOTS of aditional applications specifically for those intersted in music creation / mixing and or video / image processing. I have used Ubuntu before and found it to be rock solid, but it does a little time to get used to.

    Anyway, here is a link to the apps included...

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ub...o/Applications

    and here is a link to the download area (you can use a torrent)

    http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustud...10.04/release/

    and a nice sreenshot...or two...







    I hope someone finds this useful.

    I would love to ditch Windows and Mac.
    I’ve got Ubuntu as dual boot on my PC in the hope that I’ll learn to use it but it just isn’t happening
    Trying to find a guide to getting bit perfect audio via USB in Linux is a miserable nightmare just because the Linux guys don’t talk in plain English. If your not already a Linux user the jargon and “Linux in club” attitude just puts the average computer halfwit like myself off.
    Linux, great idea, maybe a great system, but while the geeks are responsible for its promotion and explanation it isn’t going to catch on.

    I'll try if you get a problem. I'm not a 100% "under the bonnet" Linux professor, but I've used it regularly as my desktop for 2 years now after an awful experience with Windows Vista. If I can help, I will. Just PM me on here.

    That’s very kind of you Grez. I may take you up on your offer if and when I get the time and patience to spend some time experimenting. Thank you very much

    No problem. I got this computer a fortnight ago, and there's no Windows on it whatsoever now, and I find Ubuntu to work well in the main for what I do.

    Enjoy it!
