Re: [LAU] ubuntu vs arch

Just my two cents about UA25EX:

I have a UA25EX as well and I'm quite happy with it. I use it with Musix 3.0
(Debian Squeeze) and it works out of the box. Even I use it on an UMPC (not
as powerful as a PC) for realtime FX with jack configured at 256 buffer and
no xruns.

Hope it helps.
