<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been trying to get PD up and running on linux
for a while, but so far I've not been lucky, prolly because I'm a linux nub. The
first installation I tried (Fedora) didn't have a familiar interface. The second
(Ubuntu) did, but I couldn't install PD on it for some unknow reason. I used a
tar-ball installation, and ran the "make install"-command and it did install on
the computer, but PD just wouldn't start up. On the third distribution I tried
JackLab, PD worked, but I had no internet connection.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm used to run normal pc's (Windows), so I'm after
a distribution that has a graphic desktop environment to not make it too
unfamiliar for starters. But most of all I'm after a distribution that will run
PD-extended and do it good. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does any of
you have any recommendations to which distribution to choose and perhaps
good linux and audio-sites for nubs like me?</FONT></DIV>
