Last Friday 27 August 2004 18:53, Pedro Figueiredo was like:
having played around with Debian 3.0 and Red Hat
8.0 (which I believe were released at about the same time) Red Hat seemed
much prettier and up to date.
Both very old now.
AGNULA/DeMuDi is based on Debian 3.1 (Sarge), which is very pretty (if you
want it to be) and has a nice balance of up-to-dateness and stability. It's
still as configurable as ever, but now has a degree of user-friendliness that
it didn't used to, in the form of hardware auto-detection & GUIs if you want
them. Can't comment on RH. The firmware issue seems to be an insoluble
conundrum. Both AGNULA and PlanetCCRMA contain Linux Audio software, the
choice is between strict & loose interpretations of 'Free' AFAICT ... and
your preference.
