Well, I wasn't responding to you Karen at all. I was replying to the other poster wanting to know which distribution best supported hardware synths. As for the Dectalk Express probably debian or fedora but your qualification about full support is open to interpretation. Full support to me is a text based console, however for others it would include or maybe exclusively be 'X' support. But I feel what you are really doing is hedging because you've been asking silly questions about this stuff for years and never actually got off your buns and installed anything. Try one and if you like it keep it. If you don't blow it away and try another one. You could have installed every one of them in the time you have been trying to decide which one to try.
