[linux-audio-user] Setting up linux computer

Hello, I'm setting a computer up for music and have a couple questions. I am currently installing gentoo onto my computer and I am having difficulty because I don't have much time to install. Should I just stick with gentoo and get the install done eventually or can you suggest a better linux dist. that is better? I am looking at buying a firewire device instead of a pci card for my soundcard. How well does linux support firewire devices? I'm looking at buying the MOTU 828mkII if that helps at all. Any suggestions and advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Thomas _________________________________________________________________ Designer Mail isn't just fun to send, it's fun to receive.
