+ Currently, installing pro audio applications on vanilla Ubuntu requires
+ some configuration, in order for the user to gain realtime privilege

+ on Ubuntu, and like Ubuntu Studio, has these settings preconfigured, while
+ also containing customized versions of Ubuntu packages, which often are
+ more up to date.
