With Debian-derivatives, it's as easy as "sudo apt-get install" and "sudo apt-get -f remove". It's probably just as easy to customize other ones too. I use Debian because I'm a Debian guy, and I'm old and crabby and stuck in my ways. That's the only reason, really. I prefer the Debian way to the RedHat way of doing things, or the Gentoo way, but they are fine and just as good for audio. I hate bloat, so I dispense with all that Gnome or KDE crap, and I use ion3 as a window manager. I'd do that no matter what distro I was using. I'm sure you could strip down Ubuntu Studio to fit on a flash drive, if you wanted. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
