Nice little music-specific Linux distro - pure:dyne

[Jay Vaughan]

I just got one of these in the mail:

http://code.goto10.org/projects/puredyne/wiki/GetPureDyne

Booted it up on my AMD quad-core machine, and .. it kicks ass!  No  
longer necessary to tweak and config and set up and all that .. from  
now on whenever I want to do some Linux jamming at Stans, I just take  
this along with me and boot .. Music-making on a PC just got as easy  
as game-playing on an Xbox.

Just put in the media, boot, and away we go.  Everything just works -  
it autodetected my hardware without any sweat whatsoever, and I got  
straight into a seq24+zynaddsubfx session very easily .. first started  
up Jack, then zynaddsubfx, then seq24, connected seq24 -> zynaddsubfx,  
and away we go .. added an amSynth session, easy as pie.

So .. all you doubters .. if you want to try out Linux in an Audio  
production setup, this is a pretty good option.  Cheap, too!
