[LAU] Audio distro for a Macbook pro<br>
</font> </div>
<br>
So a friend of mine at work has decided she wants to check
out audio and<br>
MIDI on Linux. BUT, she has a Macbook Pro, and I've never
paid any<br>
attention to distros that were for Macs. What's a good
audio/MIDI (plus<br>
general purpose) distro that is easy to get running on a
Macbook Pro?<br>
<br>

I intend to get her going with Ardour, Rosegarden, or QTractor, but
it's the basic distro I'm stuck on. I don't know what ones people
have had good luck with on a MacBook Pro. I assume that, since the
hardware is less generic than a standard PC, that some distros work
better than others. I tried searching Distrowatch and google, but
didn't come up with anything conclusive. I don't want her to have
tons of problems getting things to work, as I live about an hour
away from her (plus I rather doubt my wife would much appreciate me
going over there and spending a lot of time!).<br>
