always going, "Shoot, they don't have that program installed ... " And
Ubuntu Studio gives me problems with xruns and announcements that
there's not enough CPU available to run whatever synth I have running.
I tried adding Ubuntu's RT kernel to my first US install, and all it did
was trash the US installation.
I like ArtistX. Hefty but very complete.

Thanks for the warning. Was thinking I might try it but will give it a

Been using ArtistX http://www.artistx.org for some time, and it's an
exceptionally complete distro for audio/video/graphics work, includes
all productivity apps as well. Large install as a consequence, 9.8GB,
but for an explorer as well as a user it's good to go right from the
install. I'm not taking the distro flamewar-bait
either.
AVLinux does look very tasty. I'm happy with Lenny for now, but as it gets further
and further out of date over the next year or two, I might consider trying something
different.

I had a quick look at this but what I find disturbing is that it
trashes any partitions it uses, including /home! That's just not
aceptable.
