Depends on how you define "good".
Most audio production packages ready-to-use? Mandrake, CCRMA, or
Gentoo
Pentium optimized? Mandrake or Gentoo
Performance kernels? Mandrake or Gentoo
Most stable? RedHat or SuSe (a guess)
Quick and easy to install new packages? Mandrake, CCRMA, or Debian

I use Mandarkelinux on my audio workstation. I use the multimedia
kernel from contribs, some packages from contribs, and some packages
from Thac. I'm also able to submit any changes, improvements, or
bugfixes myself into the next release, which is nice.
