Whats Audio support like? I've been running Ubuntu-Studio with JACK for years, and have a very much 'entrenched' setup consisting of multiple (20+) channels of Firewire Audio in my studio environment - it works great, and is a real power DAW. (I never, ever use Pulseaudio .. but do have an alsa-jack 'channel bridge' so that I can have Alsa compatability)
But I'd love to know that JACK is a first-class citizen on #!. Is it?
Also, I have a small stack of extremely old Panasonic Toughbook CF-25's that I've been trying to find a distro for, as I believe they're still quite useful, albeit ancient.. is it feasible to run it with only 128meg of RAM, yet moderate-sized hard drive, and Pentium-133 style CPU, you think?
