[04:44] <OvenWerk1> zequence: Just installed 14.04 64bit on my new MB. Very happy with it. Everything just works. I opted for an i5 CPU over the i7 as the only differece I could find was hyperthreading on the i7.
[04:45] <OvenWerk1> I can run the d66 at 16frames/2 periods with just the odd spurious xrun... or I can turn ondemand off and get no xruns :)
[04:47] <OvenWerk1> I now have a lot more software to explore. The YC20 synth for example, I could not use on my old machine.
[04:50] <OvenWerk1> http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2014-April/097402.html for more details
[05:07] <zequence> OvenWerk1: Good to hear. I'm sadly behind in what's new in Linux Audio myself.
[05:08] <zequence> Doesn't seem like Ubuntu wiki has anything notes about UtopicUnicorn yet. No release schedule to copy
[05:08] <zequence> I created a google calendar for that last year, but never went public with it. This time around, I ho
[05:09] <zequence> ..I hope it can come to some use
[05:09] <OvenWerk1> Ya I was somewhat worried because I have heard a lot of people who had things no longer work when they got new HW.
[05:12] <zequence> OvenWerk1: Is the MB EFI capable?
[05:12] <zequence> I suppose you haven't tried installing EFI before now, anyway?
[05:14] <zequence> Having to create a special partition for it seemed a bit backwards to me - sort of overcomplicating something, but I suppose it is really the same with MBR. I haven't yet tried dual booting on EFI though
[05:15] <OvenWerk1> It does but it will pick and choose too.
[05:15] <zequence> Ok, so it's like my most recent MB
[05:15] <zequence> It will only give you an EFI option, if the bootable device is EFI capable
[05:15] <OvenWerk1> Our ISO comes up both ways and I can select how I want to boot it.
[05:15] <OvenWerk1> haswel chip set.
[05:15] <zequence> Yeah
[05:16] <zequence> i think if you boot in EFI, and make a normal install, it should become a EFI install
[05:16] <OvenWerk1> I don't want my whole disk controlled by it though... so it will have to wait till I have a second disk...
[05:17] <OvenWerk1> Actually I did install kubuntu on my son's machine with efi.
[05:17] <OvenWerk1> Just worked.
[05:18] <OvenWerk1> Anyway, I have to go... the beautiful lady I live with is calling...
[05:18] <zequence> Sure, but dual booting might be another story. It won't recognize Win8
[05:18] <zequence> See you
[05:18]  * OvenWerk1 has no winanyting in the house
[05:20] <zequence> Well, it's not strictly our field of expertise anyway
[05:25] <zequence> OvenWerk1: That's one of the things I will bring up for this next cycle - having two ISOs. One netinstall, one tool/showcase
[05:25] <zequence> So, we need to iron out what the netinstall should look like
[05:25] <zequence> But, we'll take that discussion when it comes up on the mail list, I think
