[LAU] Suggested distro and processor speed ?

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.
