Ubuntu Studio

The Ubuntu Studio edition is officially recognized by Canonical, but the company doesn’t support it. The operating system consists of regular Ubuntu with the addition of audio, graphics, and video editing capabilities, such as the Kino video editor shown in Figure 15-10.

This distribution also features a different version of the Linux kernel that has been optimized for real-time processing of audio, the PulseAudio sound server, and the JACK sound system. This makes it an amazingly powerful tool for editing sound and creating real-time audio and visual effects. But these features come only with the full install, not with the quick install I outlined at the start of this chapter, which simply adds programs used by the distro.

The ISO file for this distribution is over 1.4 GB in size, so you’ll need to burn it to a DVD or a bootable USB thumb drive rather than a CD, or just perform the quick installation described at the start of this chapter if you want only the programs.
