Another approach that I´ve been thinking about, would be a general LAU repository covering the different distros that we all use. LAU/Fedora, LAU/*buntu, LAU/whatever... I know that many of us here have some pretty cool scripts, setups, custom guis made in python-qt or TK, or x/k/gdialog, rebuilds of standard apps to support Jack (libxine or mplayer come to mind), some of us keep up with different trees in a project (I always use the new_fx_and_sample_fun branch of Hydrogen, for example). So...something along the lines of the Ubuntu ppa´s, but keeping out of the distros´ official channels, to avoid all the stupid political crap that go with such distros. (Which would also allow people to include scripts to add wine-based stuff without fear and lothing), A small "base" area that does the relevant tweaks for the distro (A link to a known good kernel, install the rt_irq script, install necessary tweaks for Jack)...the rest all personal stuff to go on top. As far as the "base" stuff goes, I don´t give a **** about wallpapers, icons or some audio distro´s "perfect" desktop - I´m a KDE guy so half of these audio distro´s work is useless to me (imagine all that work being redirected at finding and packaging every single jack app out there, instead) All it would require desktop wise would be XDG compliance - a .menu, and and .desktop files to create a new submenu (keeping out of the now ridiculously bloated "Multimedia" menu ("Categories=AudioVideo"), instead, have a "Categories=X-Linux-Audio-User". If what I just wrote is completely incoherent, I blame jetlag (and 20 hours stuck in a damn waiting lounge), sorry... - Shane
