What about Ubuntu? There are some fantastic Pd packages for debian, and I'm pretty sure Ubuntu takes that and adds an installation and ease-of-use to rival Suse, Redhat, and anyone else. Plus, apt is a better package manager than most out there, except emerge and arch-linux's, imho.
2 cents.

Hello,
I have Redhat in my laptop (Thinkpad R51), but so far had - almost - only bad experiences. My teacher tried to install planet ccrma, jack and other of the more recent programs, but it is much harder as one expects (and he is an expert). I am seriously thinking about changing to suse, that besides it is much "nicer" in general, I know it is designed for my computer. I looked in the archives, but could find no satisfatory answer: would there be a reason not to do this change? (I don't mind building the programs, sometimes the rpms remind me of windows' automatic install) although it isn't possible to install ccrma in suse (?), there are also low-latency kernels, or other ways to get a satisfactory result with live-audio. (I have the rme pcmcia interface + multiface combo)
