Ubuntu Studio. It literally contains _everything_ in terms of multimedia open source software. You can either get a DVD with the Studio installer, or just get the plain Ubuntu 7.10 CD, install it, then install Studio with the method described in the second link: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromGutsy There's no way to tell what CPU speed you will need. It depends a lot on what you're actually doing. The best way to find out is to actually run software on that machine. In terms of audio interface, you can use a cheap common card such as a SoundBlaster. Or, if you need more channels, the M-Audio are well supported and work pretty well. I've an M-Audio Delta 1010 and I like it. http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.list&ID=pciinterfaces -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
