I stay on the list in case anything does come up. There is AV Linux which is aimed not at music alone, but as its title suggests, audio and video. There are a few other distros that more or less cover the same ground, but I will say that none are as directly relevant as 64studio was in its heyday. I recently bought a new quad core AMD computer, and installed debian wheezy on it, then just used synaptic to pull in the audio apps I wanted. Even without a 'proper' RT kernel it runs extremely well with no problems at all. My weapon of choice is the yoshimi synthesiser which is very processor intensive. Material that used to peak at over 70% CPU on a dual core Athlon now peaks at less than 20%, and not a sniff of an x-run at 5.8mS latency. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
