I've been following this thread with great interest as I'm about to switch to linux too and I'm 
trying to decide among A/Demudi and PlanetCCRMA. How would you compare these two?

Because I will be using a computer with no network access, I can't afford frequent updating and 
patching. That's my biggest concern. Also, having played around with Debian 3.0 and Red Hat 
8.0 (which I believe were released at about the same time) Red Hat seemed much prettier and 
up to date. Unfortunately, it was running a bunch of servers and processes out of the box that I 
never asked for (printers, send mail, drivers for all sort of hardware...). Debian seemed to allow 
for better fine tuning and advanced configuration, which is a Good Thing as far as I'm 
concerned. Is this still the case with the current versions on which A/Demudi and 
PlanetCCRMA are based? 

Thank you,
Pedro
