Hi Len, I think I remember your name from rec.audio.pro (in better,
quieter days). Nice to see you here.
I've run ALSA with no trouble on both Debian and RedHat. It should
work fine on any distribution, so the issue is really just what's
easier for you to install and learn to use. I prefer Debian's software
update system better than RedHat's. But for a newbie, RedHat's
graphic installation system is definitely more friendly.
You might want to subscribe to linux-audio-user mailing list. It's a
better forum for user-level questions like this. linux-audio-dev is
meant for software developers.
