I'm new to this distro, and am setting up a box for a friend, not myself (though I'll be supporting this non-linux person). I have been bothered by the poor forum system when there are so many decent forum apps out there to choose from. No proper searching makes it barely useful and that really does impact the usability of the distro. I've seen a lot of unanswered posts - there must be more people using this! Then again, it looks like linuxmusicians.com forum has more activity in general. Either a link to that forum should be added to the distro website or this forum should be fixed.
Otherwise I'm thrilled to find the distro - wish it had existed back in the 80s when I was using 8track real-to-real tascams. I remember reading about peter gabriel producing albums on computer and looked into what it would take... the largest HDD I could afford at the time was 80MB, not GB! We have a lot to be happy about here.
