been away for awhile, both from this list and from PD, but recently got a little asus netbook and installed eeebuntu base 3.0 and upgraded to karmic 9.10.
I notice that one can easily install Pd vanilla through the system itself, and I've been using Pd long enough to know which libraries I need and which I don't. So my question is which is a better choice for an inexperienced linux user, install vanilla and add the libraries I use often and need, or install a version of extended, and if that's the case, which version is best for karmic 9.10? Thanks.
