Yes, technically correct. It is, I would like to think, a little more than just a package collection (even though that is what I call it myself :-) A full distribution would have a set of cdroms that install everything in one go (or selected parts of it). Planet CCRMA's install starts where the standard RedHat install ends (for 7.2/7.3/8.0). The end result is exactly the same. I don't know if Demudi has install cdroms, Rehmudi does not have them at this point. I would also like to point out that Planet CCRMA is not strictly audio oriented, it also has packages for doing video work (from the libraries and packages needed to do i/o to/from ieee1394 camcorders to writing an svcd of the end result :-) Of course at this point it is audio heavy and video light... -- Fernando
