Has somebody a stable Ubuntu Studio NATTY 64-bit?

[Mac]

Well, I sort of agree with both lines of thought here.

1. Having a stable recording platform where there are zero hick-ups of
any kind is important for live recording.

2. In a studio environment there may be many stops, but, the people
paying for the recording time won't be thrilled paying for breaks to
deal with buffer overruns.

That said, I've successfully done 2+ hour recordings of musical
theater events with 24 channels via firewire into Ardour.

That was with Ubuntu 9x, a tweaked kernel from Luke, and locally
compiled latest (at that time) Ardour. I got to that point only after
a lot of help from Paul, Luke and others. I have not attempted
anything like this since then.

FWIW: I did some quick tests with the same hardware using the latest
AVLinux...it just worked out-of-the-box, no tweaks or after install
setups.
