[linux-audio-user] distro suggestions..

[Lorenzo Bicci]

Thank you very much.
These are the very first times I try to use Linux for audio recording, and the 
standard gentoo kernel still works fine for me; I'll surely try to follow 
your advices when I have a little bit more experience with it.
Thanks again.

Lorenzo
