Yeah, and if it doesn't I write my own ebuilds or just install the cvs-versions in my homedir (which isn't needed for a lot of apps thats for sure!). > c.) do you consider the distribution that you use to be notably adequate for > audio production? why? As you do everything yourself it is you and only you who decides which services do run and which settings are made. So you get a very slink and lean and fast and optimised system. And as you have to wait for every package to compile, you don't install many packages just for fun. At least not on your music-machine... Altough gentoo is great for everyone willing to learn about linux or already deeply involved, gentoo isn't a distribution for the beginners...
