if the user is new to linux , i'd definitely be suggesting CCRMA or D3MuDi ..no sense in them getting turned away by "you mean i need gtk+-2.8.1-mm-dev? where are my kernel headers? what are kernel headers anyways?". then once they get sick of 'you mean i have to add the ___ reposity to get a version of ___ that isnt ancient? ___ repository is installed a different version of libc and insert_dep_here, is that why half my apps are now randomly segfaulting? how do i know which is which?? you mean im still have to compile all this new stuff from source anwyays and then trick the distro into thinking its installed even tho the distro was supposed..." then they can graduate to gentoo. and stare at their screen while lines and lines of CFLAGS scroll by..
