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.

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.

     Dave
