I tried Mandrake 8.2 --Very easy and quick install.

downloading missing libraries and gave up on it. However with all that
audio software loaded on 9.1 finding libraries would be a fair exchange.
I had planned on trying redhat Phoebe which I have downloaded, but maybe
I'll try Mandrake as well. Where can I get it?
There are many mirrors listed on www.mandrake.com.
If you have a fast net connection, I'd suggest doing a network install.
Just download the floppy image, boot it, and type in a mirror address.
This way you only have to download the packages you want, not all of
them.
If you have a slow connection, better to get the ISOs.
Current version is 9.0, but there is a beta2 version of 9.1 available as
well. The main improvements in 9.1 are fonts and control centre, aside
from the usual security fixes and updated packages.
