I'm fairly new to Linux as an OS, and want to try running linux alongside WinXP. The only programs I'd like to run are PD&GEM+everyotherexternal (of course), supercollider, rosegarden, and Blender. I also have about 4 commercial VSTs, and lots of free effects that I'd like to run in Linux under PD. I've done some reading about getting VST's to work using WINE, Jack and a couple of other things. I have about 10gigs of un-partitioned space on my main harddrive, and was thinking of installing Debian, Suse, or Free-BSD distro. Any recomendations as far as a good distro for PD?
Any Linux-Distribution is good for Pd. For Linux audio in general, you might want to head over to the linux-audio-user list (when the current flame war over there has lost momentum), which is generally a nice place to get help regarding general linux questions.
For a distribution that's easy to set up and includes nice Pd packages, I can recommend Agnula/Demudi.
Ciao
