I think you'll find it easier than that. ;-) Last Monday 05 July 2004 18:17, Joseph Dell'Orfano was like: > Let me put in a vote for fedora core 1 and CCRMA.

It is a really nice setup for linux audio AGNULA/DeMuDi is much the same. It comes with pre-patched multimedia kernels and ALSA, JACK etc. A/DeMuDi-1.2.0 installs it all for you in under an hour and you can get straight into making music, although you'll probably have to do a little configuring for best results. The difference between the systems is mostly in the way they are configured. You'll get a similar spread of packages out of all three, I prefer a Debian-based system, so I'm using A/DeMuDi. The 1.2.0 installer provides a nice stand alone music system, which is compatible with Debian testing. cheers tim hall
