Brian,
I use Fluxbox for recording but I'll use KDE for mixing and
sometimes mastering. Fluxbox is very simple and puts no strain on your
system.

So you guys helped me pick a distro, and i'm
pretty
happy with it. Lets here the verdicts, what window
manager? Gnome 2.12 is what i've been using, but it
isn't the most stable. Sometimes i can't logout and i
have to switch to a vt and kill it. The absence of
easily configurable menus has me sticking all my music
apps in a "drawer," where those without icons apear as
big feet that must be mouse-overed until i get
tool-tipped to even know that program it is. I could
work around/live with it but then i resized one day
with <ctrl>+<alt>+- to read some fine print and all o'
the sudden the horizontal refresh was busted like an
old television. the whole screen was cycling to the
left at a dizying pace and my muse cursor disapeared.
Even after killing X and restarting this nonsence was
still going on and i hate having to reboot my machine.
So now i'm playing with e16... before i invest in
realy figuring out how to use it, what do any of you
using a jack studio setup with like MusE and Ardor and
the like prefer?
Thanks,
Brian
