HI Good thread!!
Just a point here, re a quick study.
Once you learn this and yes it can be a lot of reading and mailing, you
know it for life and will find you can adapt to changes very quickly.
This isn't the case in windoze where the companies seem to take a
perverse delight in changing for changes sake.
Welcome back to Linux/freedom
cheers

like:
my question is this: is debian (demudi) a good
place
to start (re)learning linux, given my intention to use
the linux environment first and foremost as a daw?
the last time i ran linux i was 16, and only barely
able to "run" it successfuly. i remember _very_
little of it at this point. but i'm a reasonably
quick study, and i'm pretty motivated to learn it and
make it work.
Yes, I think A/DeMuDi is a good place to start. I migrated to it straight from
Windows three years ago and haven't looked back. Be prepared to do lots of
reading. I'm currently sticking my neck out and claiming that it is now in
fact easier than installing and configuring Windows to do the same job.
