That's one way. Or I guess install Fedora and add the CCRM repositories.
Or try something like ArtistX, Musix, or one of the :Dyne derivatives
and see how they work. Musix' may not have the most current program
versions, but it is a slickly-done music-focussed distro. I like ArtistX
on my little music laptop, and it includes creative tools for graphics,
video, etc.
I tried KXStudio, but it wouldn't run on my music laptop. Hardware too
old, I guess!
