If you are looking for a completly new distribution, I have to tell you that I have been very pleased with SuSE 8.1. It seems to have a good variety of Music/Sound apps and always delivers what it says it will. My sound card configured without a hitch (Soundblaster Live! 5.1). Except for the program "Muse", I can't think of any other Music/Sound programs that didn't work they way they were supposed to.

Good Luck,
Rocco
