mainly :

APODIO (based on mandrake) http://www.apodio.org (audio & video)
AGNULA : http://www.agnula.org (audio)
MANDRAKE : http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=29

sometimes :
Debian : http://debian.org
dynebolic : http://dynebolic.org (audio & video)
fedora : http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=64

...etc

For audio production (studio recording, post-production, composition, 
webradio & radio broadcast, real-time concerts & installation...etc) 
it's excelent!! I was under macinsto$h world before, using different 
"pro" audio tools and since 3/4 years I only works with linux in audio 
production, and I could work as "pro" in all the production I want to do.
It's adequate because I could realize all the works I need to do : 
recording sounds (jackit, qarecord, jackmix, ardour, rezound, audacity, 
mhwaveedit...etc), mixing it (ardour, audacity...etc), masterized it 
(jamin, rezound...), produce CD (K3B, Gcombust...), produce webcasting 
(icecast, ices, puredata...) & jukebox (zina...), real time concerts & 
installation (puredata, jackit, jack-rack, FreqTweak, terminatorX, 
spiralSynthModular...)... and it's poilitcal & ethically in the way I 
want to work with art (GNU, copyleft, GPL...), it's based on relation 
between people and the human being not on business and personnal profit...
