Hello;
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?
My system is a P4 3.06 533Mhz bus with 512MB of DDR ram and Asus ATI Radeon 9600se. I realise my MOTU 828 is not supported. Maybe I'll pick up an RME-Hamerfall card.

I just did three *very* quick installs of AGNULA/DeMuDi for a workshop in Newcastle, and it seems to work fantastically. I think I am going to quit recommending Fedora/PlanetCCRMA and start handing out DeMuDi disks during workshops instead.
Personally, I use Gentoo because I like being able to configure the hell out of things, but it's not for everyone, as you can read about at the link below ;-)
best, d.

If you want, you can configure the hell out of Debian, too. Emerge is called "apt-get --build source PACKAGE", though. ;)

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.
