Ubuntu is not a good distribution for Multimedia

[Ben Edwards]

Have been investigating what distribution we should use for our
multimedia PCs and I am afraid that Ubuntu fairs fairly badly.  most
of the serious audio/video production software is either nowhare to be
found or in universe as VERY old versions.

The software I am refuring to is stuff like ardour, audacity, jack,
jamin, hydroigen, Cinelerra.

I understand that Warty is the first release but would like to get a
feel for how seriously Ubuntu is going to be supporting this type of
hight end Desktop use in the future.

Also has anyone built or got a howto for building a low latency kernel
for Ubuntu.
