I have heard
about AGNULA and Rehmudi (a RedHat based Demudi, which in
turn is based in Debian?) but I haven't been successful locating
information about them.
AGNULA has two parts, Remudi and Demudi. Remudi uses the rpm-package
manager, Demudi uses the Debian packages manager dpkg.
Planet CCRMA is a collection of rpm packages for audio software, not a
distribution (I think).
Yes, technically correct. It is, I would like to think, a little more
than just a package collection (even though that is what I call it
myself :-) A full distribution would have a set of cdroms that install
everything in one go (or selected parts of it). Planet CCRMA's install
starts where the standard RedHat install ends (for 7.2/7.3/8.0). The end
result is exactly the same. I don't know if Demudi has install cdroms,
Rehmudi does not have them at this point.
I would also like to point out that Planet CCRMA is not strictly audio
oriented, it also has packages for doing video work (from the libraries
and packages needed to do i/o to/from ieee1394 camcorders to writing an
svcd of the end result :-) Of course at this point it is audio heavy and
video light...
