It's quite contrary to what the thread starter wants though. He wants a
distro that is ready for audio production without much setup. Arch has
its strengths, I use it and love it, but it takes time to set it up and
configure everything. Its flexibility is its weakness :)

For those who want the latest of just about everything, Arch is not too
bad. More DIY from the audio perspective though, there IS an audio repo
but I think it seriously lacks manpower to do updating. I do have 40+
packages, more than half audio-related which I 'compile from source',
but Arch's AUR (user-submitted PKGBUILDs to generate packages) makes
that easy except for the wait-time of compiling, dependency-checking and
such are all done in the PKGBUILD. On 14 May 2010 19:03, Folderol

Yeah, but some of that is a little outdated. For instance, Thac's
RPMs for Mandrake, is a bit old. Mandrake became Mandriva, and Thac
went on to create PCLinuxOS as an alternative.
Thanks tho....
