Hi Joe:
PlanetCCRMA is definitely has the more current apps versions, but
AGNULA Demudi is really quite nice too. I have both systems installed
here, and I must say that I'm impressed by the AGNULA core system. Yes,
it's not pretty (yet), but it's well designed where it counts, and the
1.1 release promises to bring the system into a more up to date
condition. I'm not sure when AGNULA 1.1 will be ready for release but
I'm sure it's Real Soon Now. ;)
Next month's column for the Linux Journal On-line will briefly
describe my experiences with PlanetC and AGNULA.
Best,
