Ubuntu Studio - What is it really?

[Ultra Magnus]

I think Ubuntu Studio does a bit of tweaking to the kernal to make it better for audio stuff - heard that somewhere but I'm not really sure

Its more than a bit. Its a practically a real time kernel. That makes a huge difference in the audio and video sides of things.

I use 64 studio on this machine and Ubuntustudio Feisty on another.

I will ditch Suse 10.3 on my alternate partition to try US 64 bit.

The big downside to real-time / low latency kernels is that Virtual machine hosts have problems with them. A friend suggested running VirtualBox running on the same priority as audio. A good idea that I will try soon.

The ubuntu-studio packages in the repository are packages to install Ubuntu Studio on your computer. I know because I'm converting to Studio right now
EDIT: Install successful. I confirm this post.
