I have Ubuntu Studio running in a VM under OS X and it's very nice. Two other distros I've installed recently are the Sabayon (derived from Gentoo) on this Dell 470 Workstation - SMP with two 3.0GHz Xeon processors, dual 10,000RPM SCSI drives in RAID with Perc/320 busmastering controller. It's beautiful and screaming fast. Finally, I just installed PCLinuxOS on an old Medion computer for my lovely and charming neighbor and it's outstanding - may be the best of the three for the typical user. Prior to that I had an older Fedora Core with CCRMA. It's a big wide wonderful world we live in (song lyric) and virtually all paths lead to glory. All the best, and have a blast!
