Hi all, I'm cross-posting this to hopefully get a few replies since I know there aren't a ton of Linux users on any of these lists. Please feel free to correct / redirect me if you think I've veered too far OT. What I've got: PII 266 ASUS P2B mobo zip. flop, 20X Acer CD Rom SB16 MCD/ASP ISA (I hrt this vintage card) 192 PC100 ram 20GB Western Digital Main drive (for OS + APPS) 60GDB IBM Deathstar (For audio storage, probably as one big NTFS partition - must be able to mount this from Linux) Netgear Ethernet adaptor Diamond Stealth 3D 4000 AGP display card What I'm trying to do: I have a tiny 500MB Windows 3.11 partition that I need to keep for the Cakewalk 3.0 old sequences + SB16 win3.11 only software I've got working very stably, but I'd like to use the rest of this for Linux / BSD / BeOs partitions. I know this is a loaded question, but what IS the best Linux distro for audio (given the above hardware?). I've looked around, but found nothing catering to setting up a particular Linux distro for Audio + MIDI. Anybody have any hints / horror stories? I'm not necessarily looking for the newest and slickest. Stable + vastly configurable = good. I NEED to have this box networked + talking to a Mac G3 and a PIII as the gateway for internet connection sharing. Thanks in advance for any advice.
