i did run into ubuntu which seems to be a branch of debian with what
looked like a liveCD iso but i dont know if anyone uses it. it has a
package system called symantic or something that ive never heard of
(not that that should stop me i guess...) but i need to be able to
easily install software like svn etc. the nice thing about planetccrma
is that i never had to install anything!

Rick,
Have you considered Debian? It's certinly well supported. The only
thing is that there isnt a "planet ccrma" for debian yet, so you need
to build a realtime kernel etc yourself.

can anyone recommend a well supported linux that i can (easily)
install on an older dell?
my first choice would be planetccrma except there is some issue
with a
fedora X library and juce that im not sure i can solve beyond waiting
for the next release of fedora.
my next choice would be gentoo but their livecd doenst even boot.
these are the only linux versions that i know work well (well, at
least planetccrma works well but ive heard good things about gentoo)
anyway i dont want an installer that boots me in a shell as superuser
and tells me to run fdisk! (my second attempt at booting gentoo)
