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? > > Rgds > Stew Stew, Do a minimal clean install of Redhat 9 and then try out the PlanetCCRMA flow. You should be up and running within an hour or two. Easiest thing I know of to get Alsa and a number of apps running quickly. Good luck, Mark
