We should not fight over distributions ... But Avlinux has one advantage, that is that There has been a lot of work invested in making shure that all the program are of "compatible versions" and are interworking well with all other included softwares.
The latest and greatest software releases of all programs is not always the best way to have a trouble free experience of using the applications in a distribution. Try Avlinux from a fast USB stick or DVD to see what a well integrated distribution lets you do. - Bosse -----Original Message----- From: sursound-boun...@music.vt.edu [mailto:sursound-boun...@music.vt.edu] On Behalf Of Augustine Leudar Sent: den 4 juli 2012 13:07 To: Surround Sound discussion group Subject: Re: [Sursound] preferred (small) linux distro for audio?
