Wouldn't it be easier to jump on the band wagon of a distribution designed specifically for music.

I envision a fusion of the linux music environments with all the affilliated software. If it comes as one package then it would greatly assist the publicity of the Linux music community and generally in terms of multimedia on Linux.

So many people are scared of Linux because they don't want to spend all the time installing and fixing bugs. It seems absolutely stupid to me but they think Linux is too difficult. They will still invest years of their lives learning the ins and outs of a package designed by a company who may not even listen to their problems when they arise.

If the linux music commmunity can make a distribution happen then we will be saving a lot of people everywhere a lot of time and frustration. We will also be giving another big finger to the closed source market and allowing musicians to get down to what we really want to do, which is to make music and for some of us, to make money off our music.

It has taken long enough to get to this stage where something designed for the people and by the people (granted some of the more alternative minds) has the possibility of being accessible to the people.

Please don't fuck around with Debian if you have the ability to help on a more streamlined distribution for music. You could save a lot of people a lot of time if you joined in on the m-station project.

I don't want to offend I just want to get this thing burning.

Patrick.
