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)
Well ... if you've tried Gentoo and Fedora, your next best shot is
either Ubuntu or Debian "Etch". I run Gentoo, but if it doesn't boot on
your machine, that's not good.
There are a couple of audio-specialized Linux distros that you might
also try. Studio 64 and JAD (Jack Audio Distribution) are the two names
I remember. I think both of them are Debian-based, and one of them is
the successor to the AgNuLa project.
Just what model Dell do you have? Are you trying to dual-boot it with
Windows? How much disk space? How much RAM? How fast is the processor?
And, of course, what's the sound card?
