I thought the idea was an XFCE-based distro that didn't depend on Gnome or KDE. I don't really know. I'm a relative Linux newbie. I read a few posts that claimed that PulseAudio conflicts with Jack2. I know I never got Jack2 working in Kubuntu, but perhaps I am using it properly now. If I pull in Gnome, will that also pull in PulseAudio? I know that when I tried to remove PulseAudio from Kubuntu, it removed my entire KDE desktop, and upon reboot, dropped me into text mode! Is there not a non-Gnome, non-KDE terminal to use that is a little less minimalist; or does anybody know of Jack2 and PulseAudio play well together? (I have a firewire pro audio device that only works with Jack.)
