This is also true of Debian and DeMuDi to a certain extent, it's just that the boundary is way bigger. I think it's useful to try to quantify the differences between distros, rather than simply state our (DeMuDi rocks!-) value judgements. PlanetCCRMA, seems more up to date and focussed. <disclaimer and doxology> I'm only offering my observations because (I can't resist and) I hope it will be useful to someone like Brian attempting to decide which distro next. I have nothing but the utmost respect and gratitude for the work that people like Fernando and Free and many others on this list have done to make this software available for ordinary musicians.
