Just a quick update on an old thread....This is by no means dead!
PclinuxOS is at version .91 with .92 about to be released. Thac has been
working hard resolving packaging and compiling issues for this distro
and nearlly all of the "heart and soul" audio apps we all love are
almost there in current versions, including Qsampler / linux sampler (eh
hem...Mr Knecht! :) ) Additionally, xfst on wine 20050930 is available
and working well.
PclinuxOS has the most current Xorg CVS, primarilly uses KDE 3.4.3 but
also has fluxbox, xfce4, blackbox and even Gnome available in the APT
repositories if you elect to do a HD install.
You can still download the single iso here:
http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/html/download.html
with more info on the Distro here:
http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/index.html and extensive forum
support as well as an IRC channel
And go to: http://rpm.nyvalls.se/ (Thac's RPM's) for instructions on
how to add his rpm repositories to APT should you elect to install PCLOS.
Stay tuned. Hopefully, soon there will be an exciting announcement with
regard to audio / mm specific news related to this distro.
Cheers,
R~
