That's excellent news. When I first heard about your project, I couldn't see 
the point of having another Planet CCRMA. But as you're basing it on 
Mandrake, it offers a real choice.

I was considering Red Hat 8.0 for my music system, as a basis for either 
ReHMudi or Planet CCRMA. But someone who sells distros on CD told me that the 
Red Hat 8.0 EULA refers to an external document (on the Red Hat website) 
which keeps changing, and so he felt uncomfortable about redistributing it as 
free software.

I know that Debian is a safer choice in this regard, but I want to work with 
something that a normal musician could use. I think it's fair to say that 
Mandrake is further ahead when it comes to user friendliness.   

Good luck

Daniel
