StudioDave Does A Hardware Review And Meets Ubuntu 8.10 (Linux Journal)

Over at Linux Journal, Dave Phillips picks a laptop and distribution for his mobile audio needs with some fairly specific requirements. He looks at problems that he ran into along with solutions that he found. "I had specific intentions for this machine. Above all it had to run AVSynthesis, which meant that it would need accelerated 3D graphics capability along with support for high-quality realtime audio. I also wanted to install a complete environment for building a specific version of Csound 5.09 and for compiling Ardour 3 from its SVN source code, which meant that I would need a relatively up-to-date Linux distribution. Other required components included a recent version of JACK and the latest Java SDK."
