Hi Hamish,

I would recommend installing a DAW oriented distro. Demudi has been
recommended in the different forums as the easiest way to setup a studio.
The reason is that all other music oriented distros (Planet CCRMA, Thac's
packages) need to be installed on top of a general purpose distribution.
I've recently installed Demudi and it's been a painless proccess generally.
It's based on Debian, so you can add general purpose packages to your "audio
PC" at a later date.
>And how far off is the 1.0 release for Rosegarden?
According to the website, it's happening very soon..
>And are there are any performance oriented apps for Linux similiar to
>Ableton Live?
Dunno, but I can recommend this forum for this kind of info, it's great:

Also could be of help for making a final decision on which distribution to
install..
Cheers,
Alex
