Hi, I've only just come to this thread so I'll add my 2 cents worth.
Having been playing with the existing Tryphon repository, I've been using the Mate edition of Linux Mint. Basically this is because the v17 Mints were based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the system would be well supported for 5 years. Also there were builds for 14.04 LTS on the repository. However, as you say, it doesn't matter what distro you use. I think it does matter though which desktop you use. Having been using most of the common desktops, I think we need to keep it basic. If you have anything with "Hot Corners" and the like, the desktop starts to do things that might be undesirable in a live radio setup. That is why I chose to use the Mate desktop, and why I think the older Centos 6 desktop is better than the newer Centos 7.
