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. http://www.ofb.biz/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=315 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. Carlo
