	I have to agree with Frank - there really is no difference in how well
each distribution works for music.  Some are easier to set up or easuier
to upgrade but performance isn't an issue.  I use Fedora Core 1 and
CCRMA because it's easy, not because it's any better than any of the
other distributions.
