You got that exactly right. I'm trying to minimize my time and
effort from the time I start installing the new distribution to the
time that I can forget all the install and config work and get back
to music. Sure, I could use Linux From Scratch, but it's not going
to meet the goal of getting back to music quickly.
This was my primary reason for settling on Fedora/CCRMA. Ubuntu Studio
looked nice and had a huge feature set, but I just wanted JACK and
Ardour with access to filters and effects. Now my DAW is just that; a
DAW, not a distro config time-sink.
