To add to the confusion. I use Mandrake myself with great success.
I think a list of distros that aim for multimedia would looks something like
this:
- Mandrake (especially with Thac's rpms, rpm.nyvalls.se, very fresh)
- Suse (a lot of stuff is included in the main distro, including lowlatency
patched kernels)
- Redhat/Fedora + CCRMA (Looks good and diverse, CCRMA is where all the good
stuff is)
- Agnula (should be a big name, multimedia is what confirms their existence, I
know too little though)
- Dynebolic ( live-cd based, don't know much about it)

Just for the
record since this is the second time I read this:
Agnula offers both a Debian based system (DeMuDi) and one that is
Red Hat-based (ReHMuDi).
That's true, but most of the community development is taking place on
the Debian version. There aren't a lot of questions from users of
ReHMuDi on the Agnula lists either - users mostly seem to be trying
out DeMuDi.
As I understand it, what happened was that the Agnula distribution was
originally planned to be Debian based only, then Red Hat France got
involved and ReHMuDi was proposed as an addition to the project.
Perhaps it's because Planet CCRMA already exists that ReHMuDi hasn't
spawned much of a community so far.
