Hi Joe:

  PlanetCCRMA is definitely has the more current apps versions, but 
AGNULA Demudi is really quite nice too. I have both systems installed 
here, and I must say that I'm impressed by the AGNULA core system. Yes, 
it's not pretty (yet), but it's well designed where it counts, and the 
1.1 release promises to bring the system into a more up to date 
condition. I'm not sure when AGNULA 1.1 will be ready for release but 
I'm sure it's Real Soon Now. ;)

  Next month's column for the Linux Journal On-line will briefly 
describe my experiences with PlanetC and AGNULA.

Best,
