AGNULA has two parts, Remudi and Demudi. Remudi uses the rpm-package
manager, Demudi uses the Debian packages manager dpkg. 

Planet CCRMA is a collection of rpm packages for audio software, not a
distribution (I think). As a long time Debian user I sometimes use the
Demudi distribution as a kind of Planet-collection for sound packages that
haven't found their way into debian yet.  
If you are looking for a completly new distribution, I have to tell you that I have been
very pleased with SuSE 8.1. It seems to have a good variety of Music/Sound apps and always
delivers what it says it will. My sound card configured without a hitch (Soundblaster
Live! 5.1). Except for the program "Muse", I can't think of any other
Music/Sound programs that didn't work they way they were supposed to.

Good Luck,
Rocco
