If you're a beginner and/or have limited time, gentoo is a really *bad* idea. I'd suggest a binary-based distro, with an easy installer, and a package manager with automatic dependency resolution. Mandrakelinux 10 + contribs or + Thac's RPMS, or the combination of RedHat/Fedora + Planet CCRMA packages would proabably be best. Debian has a great package manager, but crappy installer. SuSe is vice versa IMHO. Hope that helps. Austin
