[01:53] <goingout> anyone alive here
[01:54] <goingout> ... (O.O)
[01:54] <goingout> im about to attempt to run ubuntu studio on a 2.7ghz celeron with 256mb or ram...
[01:54] <goingout> on a notebook
[01:54] <goingout> (>_<)
[01:54] <goingout> *waits for laughter*
[01:57] <holstein> goingout: hey
[01:57] <goingout> hi
[01:57] <holstein> go for it
[01:57] <goingout> will i actually be able to track some things ya think?
[01:57] <holstein> it would be nice to get 512
[01:57] <goingout> i know the current winxp installation barely runs
[01:57] <goingout> but then again
[01:57] <holstein> maybe
[01:58] <goingout> that is windows
[01:58] <goingout> it would
[01:58] <goingout> i opened up an old hp
[01:58] <holstein> you might want to look at some extra lite distros
[01:58] <goingout> in hopes of the RAM being compatible, but it wasnt
[01:58] <goingout> yea
[01:58] <goingout> i was thinking about installin glike
[01:58] <goingout> DSL
[01:58] <goingout> and just getting all the prerequisites
[01:58] <holstein> puredyne
[01:58] <holstein> dynebolic
[01:58] <goingout> hmmm
[01:58] <goingout> brb
[01:59] <holstein> you could also
[01:59] <holstein> OK
[02:00] <goingout> ok, go on.   i could also...
[02:01] <holstein> OH
[02:01] <holstein> yeah
[02:01] <holstein> you could install ubuntu
[02:01] <holstein> vanilla
[02:01] <holstein> or minimal
[02:01] <holstein> and get LXED
[02:01] <holstein> LXDE*
[02:01] <holstein> or some other lite WM
[02:01] <holstein> sudo apt-get isnstall lubuntu
[02:02] <holstein> sudo apt-get isnstall lubuntu-desktop
[02:02] <holstein> OR xubuntu-desktop
[02:02] <holstein> and then add the ubuntu studio packages
[02:02] <goingout> very true.
[02:03] <holstein> puredyne is a nice live USB boot distro
[02:03] <holstein> you wouldnt want to install it
[02:03] <goingout> mainly im just looking for audio tracking too
[02:03] <holstein> ubuntu based
[02:03] <holstein> you could get an idea of what your hardware is capable or
[02:03] <holstein> of*
[02:03] <holstein> without installing anything
[02:03] <holstein> you can boot it from CD too
[02:03] <goingout> have u used dynebolic?
[02:04] <holstein> yup
[02:04] <holstein> its old now
[02:04] <goingout> ok
[02:04] <holstein> lots of out of date packages
[02:04] <holstein> BUT
[02:04] <holstein> i ran it on a P3
[02:04] <holstein> 500mhz
[02:04] <holstein> with 256ram
[02:04] <holstein> and i got decent latency with softsynths
[02:05] <holstein> i didnt really try to track with it
[02:05] <goingout> im anticipating high latency
[02:05] <holstein> but, i feel like it would have done 1 or 2 tracks well
[02:05] <holstein> check out #opensourcmusicians
[02:05] <holstein> NOPE
[02:06] <holstein> #opensourcemusicians
[02:06] <holstein> *

[02:06] <holstein> i think there a guy in there with 256 of ram
[02:06] <holstein> and i forget what he runs
