a.) what (linux) distribution do you use?
Gentoo
b.) does the distribution that you use supply a lot of
audio-related
packages
by default?
most of what I need are provided with recent versions, I had to build my
own kernel for the 2.6 series to get the best result.
c.) do you consider the distribution that you use to
be notably adequate
for
audio production? why?
Of course ! I use it because it is easily and highly customizable as the
apps are mostly compiled and then match exactly your hardware.
The genkernel utility is cool if you are a beginner into kernel compilation.
Gentoo has the best stability so far with my USB soundcard, after having
tested the DeMuDi, the AudioSlack and the Planet CCRMA with Fedora core 3.
