My aim is = to build a dual-purpose machine, none of which require a fancy gui. I'm = building an app server for work related stuff (DB, WebServer etc.) and = when it's doing those jobs I wont need any of the music/ sound related = stuff. And a MAME station, fully kitted out in a dedicated cabinet. So I = need alsa for xmame, I don't need it for any music related stuff as I do = that on an XP setup I've got on a better PC. So if anyones got any pointers to getting the simplest setup up and = running I really would appreciate it. Bandwith isn't an issue, so if = there's a distribution that comes with alsa and config as part of the = setup.............. maybe?
