   Sounds like it will be a nice system :)   
      
   On my Ubuntu 12.04.5 linux system, I'm running the beta dada-2 here (I think   
   you are also?).. and I've not had any problems with libs, etc.  This system is   
   pretty "new"... I think my other system died sometime last year. So anyway,   
   yes, this is an HP's Envy beatsaudo with core I5, 2T for drive space, 11G   
   mem... no problem with bbbs at all... I just copied the beta on the new system   
   and it "goes"    
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
