I sorted out the permissions problems, AVSynthesis now takes full

advantage of the nVidia driver. I also built and installed an up-to-date

Csound 5.09 with some extra bells & whistles. Setting up the build

environment was easy, Ubuntu uses the apt package management system,

including the Synaptic GUI.

The main box here is a 64 Studio system, pure 64-bits. Its main musical

function is Ardour, which runs very nicely on it. I also use it for

teaching purposes, running Audacity and a few other apps. Most of my

composition work is done on the 32-bit machine.

I'm still interested in testing Arch, but for a while I'm going to tune

Ubuntu. The xruns are bad, and according to at least one report they

shouldn't be this bad. So, back to the grindstone...
Best,
