Hello,
i intend to build such a box until June this year - so it could be ready
for shipping in November at best... (if one takes care for stuff like
guaranty, professional support etc.) I got a kind of a Prototype running
which i am about to optimize for Musicians (that is: writing and
integrating helperapplets / scripts / templates and tutorials etc.)
I really do *not* think, that any to-be-installed CD-Distribution can
really do perfectly well - Hardware is simply too diverse to make sure,
that a CD-INstall does not leads to ruin - let alone works as good as a
set of Programms, that are compiled and configured by someone with some
experience/knowledge on a box that is build out of parts that are chosen
for being 100% Linuxproof.
If you prefer to invest money to save time/effort i gravely recommend to
by a complete preconfigured Box
BTW: why not something 2nd hand - a box with some scratches but with
proven virtues ;-)
I would be very interested to hear how you get on with this.
Cost is not a major issue for me, although I obviously don't want to
spend any more than I need to. Quality, reliability & flexibility are
my chief concerns.
