You are right, it is probably not a good idea to start calling Ubuntu Studio
'pro' just yet.  I suppose the main thrust of what I'm saying is that we
should be up front about the fact that Ubuntu Studio is a complex and
advanced system, but point out how this is good thing by explaining the
benefits you gain if you're willing to learn.  People who are interested in
Ubuntu Studio should be able to have clear expectations about what they are
getting into.

I will try out those kernels as soon as possible, Alessio.  Thanks for the
help.
