Hi Juhana!

Just teamed up with Luke Yelavich to do some Slackware audio packages... So 
guess WHICH distro I'm going to recommend to you :)

I've only ever tried Slackware, and I've heard from many sources it is VERY 
fast compared to some other distros including RedHat... I like to call them 
'bloatware'. Installing Slack takes about half an hour and issues aren't that 
likely to happen.

On the low level graphics ALWAYS comes at a cost in terms of stability and 
security. A good compromise is interactive text mode programs.

Slackware comes with a great one: CFDISK. Very comfortable to use. The install 
program then takes care of formatting.

Here's an article by a guy who just switched to Slack as his Desktop distro.

If you follow his instructions and top things off with the audioslack.com 
packages, I can't think of anything faster, easier, more stable or more 
convenient. And to top it off, if you would like me to help you if you run 
into any trouble, I gladly will.
