+  Currently, installing pro audio applications on Ubuntu requires some 
+  configuration, in order for the user to gain realtime privilege (read below). 
+  Ubuntu Studio, which is an official flavor of Ubuntu, and thus shares 
+  the repositories with Ubuntu, has this already configured.
+  Another distribution, KXStudio, is largely based on Ubuntu, and also has 
+  these settings preconfigured - also containing many customized and often

-  creation work, you should probably consider using a different
-  distribution that has a demonstrated history of not making life for
-  users like you more complex than it needs to be. In particular you
-  might want to consider a distribution such
-  as <a href="http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html">AVLinux</a>
-  or <a href="http://www.dickmacinnis.com/dreamstudio/">Dreamstudio</a>
-  that is specifically focused on media creation work.
