Thanks all for the suggestions. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment but 
keep 'em coming if there are any more.

So far, and strangely enough, puppy is looking like a contender. Though I 
haven't actually tried PureDyne yet. (long story) Although puppy doesn't 
have much that is useful to me in it's repositories (That I can find thus 
far anyway) it is surprisingly stable and everything worked out-the-box 
without any crashes or Xruns. That's gotta be a plus.

I was interested in trying puppystudio because I had used puppy many years 
ago when it was very new. For an art installation project. We ended up 
switching to DamnSmall (If memory serves) which is Slack based (If memory 
serves) but I'd always wanted to have reason to try puppy again. There are 
things about puppy I don't like but over all, it's fast and it's serviceable.

Of course, the immediate problem for me will be getting suitable 
sampler/synth/instrument software into it. So far the only thing that comes 
with it is Hydrogen. And I can't see anything else in the repository lists. 
Which means I'll probably have to go out on a limb to install stuff. Which 
means I probably won't do it. Right now at least. I'm taking the path of 
least resistance for the time being. As it were. But puppystudio is 
definitely a candidate.

Thanks once again to everyone for their suggestions.

Be absolutely icebox.
