If you're already a debian user, I'd take a look at demudi, though they're
still fixing their broken network, soon you'll be able to apt-get all the
packages you need to do DAW very, very easily.

Hello,
I am wanting to put together a dedicated DAW for the recording of
sermons. From that recording I will produce cassettes, cds, mp3 and
ogg/speek (as hardware support comes).
I am totally uneducated as to what is best for such.
Hardware:
I am currently looking at picking up used rackmount unit (4U) for this
machine.
How much processor is desired/required for this task?
PII, PIII, P4/Athlon.
Are dual systems (PII,PIII) desireable?
I will buy plenty of RAM and hard drive space.
Any preference in soundcards?
Anything else?
I do want good quality recording.
Software:
Need not be complicated or highly featured per se.
My editing needs currently are minimal.
Pick a starting point, pick an end point.
Create new file.
Ability to select beginning, middle and end points when creating cassettes.
I will be connecting this to a rackmounted cassette deck, a mixer, etc.
I currently use Debian (Sid) for my home machine.
If that makes any difference.
Thanks for help and suggestions.
