[LAU] Suggested distro and processor speed ?

[kevin kelley]

 Hello, This is my first post. I work everyday with
Linux at my job (Slackware). I was wondering what most
of the people on this list use as their main Distro
for Linux audio? I plan to use some form of multitrack
recording software as well as some sampling looping
software as well. 
 I have some older boxes that I was considering using
does anyone have advice on processor speed and system
configurations that work well? 
 I am also interested in knowing what hardware
interface work best for Linux audio? 
 Sorry for the fragmented post.
