OR you could just install xubuntu or lubuntu and use one of those versions as a 'base'... all the official variants use the same buntu repos as far as i know. > -- > Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users > > -- MH http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/ http://wnclug.ourproject.org/
