Kevin,
Saw the other posts and both are good advice. I have Ubuntu Studio
running in a VM under OS X and it's very nice. Two other distros I've
installed recently are the Sabayon (derived from Gentoo) on this Dell
470 Workstation - SMP with two 3.0GHz Xeon processors, dual 10,000RPM
SCSI drives in RAID with Perc/320 busmastering controller. It's
beautiful and screaming fast. Finally, I just installed PCLinuxOS on an
old Medion computer for my lovely and charming neighbor and it's
outstanding - may be the best of the three for the typical user. Prior
to that I had an older Fedora Core with CCRMA.
It's a big wide wonderful world we live in (song lyric) and virtually
all paths lead to glory.
All the best, and have a blast!
Frank
