Both very old now.
AGNULA/DeMuDi is based on Debian 3.1 (Sarge), which is very pretty (if you 
want it to be) and has a nice balance of up-to-dateness and stability. It's 
still as configurable as ever, but now has a degree of user-friendliness that 
it didn't used to, in the form of hardware auto-detection & GUIs if you want 
them. Can't comment on RH. The firmware issue seems to be an insoluble 
conundrum. Both AGNULA and PlanetCCRMA contain Linux Audio software, the 
choice is between strict & loose interpretations of 'Free' AFAICT ... and 
your preference.
