I have almost no experience in this, but it seems like this discussion would be incomplete without mentioning the Planet CCRMA distribution:

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.
