Avlinux , not so small but good for Audio http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html i use this one. http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppyStudio small good but abit old ( 2011 ) but probably good enough, or http://gorgeaccess.net/fatdaw/ relation to http://puppylinux.org/wikka/fatdog including audacity Maybe look at the recent puppies ones: http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm
Take alook at the non-daw http://non-daw.tuxfamily.org/ and also look in to http://offog.org/code/potamus.html for a jack enable multichannel audio player software. Puppy linux is small, nice and runs from RAM. - Bo-Erik -----Original Message----- From: sursound-boun...@music.vt.edu [mailto:sursound-boun...@music.vt.edu] On Behalf Of Dave Malham Sent: den 4 juli 2012 12:42 To: Surround Sound discussion group Subject: [Sursound] preferred (small) linux distro for audio? Hi folks, I'm looking for recommendations on a preferred (small) Linux distro for surround work. To start with, I'd like to run on a Asus 35 M1-M Pro motherboard as I have one handy. Unfortunately, my current Ubuntu distro seems to have difficulties picking up its built-in 8 channel audio but my relatively poor knowledge/experience of Linux means I can't be sure if I'm doing something wrong (most probable scenario) or if it's a distro or hardware limitation. As I only went for Ubuntu because I had some experience with it already, I thought it would make sense, before going further, to seek advice about optimum-for-audio distros and concentrate on one of those and preferably one without much bloat.
