Hi to all,

I've been using pd on OS X but I now need to use it with Linux on a Via Epia 5000 board. So I have two questions:

• has anyone ever used pd with such a motherboard?
• what is the best Linux distribution to use pd with?

I can't help you on the motherboard, but I would highly recommend Redhat Linux with PlanetCCRMA packages (low-latency/preemptive kernel, etc), including PD and libs:

A close second, IMHO, would be Mandrake, and I'm sure others would mention Debian, esecially Agnula (http://www.agnula.org/).
