I am using demudi 1.3.0 ! its working ok for me.

I am interested in the ubuntu approach that derek mentioned though as I 
always get a headache building kernel modules for my ATI card (because 
of the custom kernel) so I can use dri. and the Demudi kernel needs 
tweaking to get my wireless card working ipw 2200.

I started using pd with the ccrma (FC1) but as derek mentioned it gets 
complicated, I switched to demudi and besides a few minor gripes I think 
it is quite good. What is Gentoo like? I keep thinking I will have a 
play around with installing it on an old machine but everyone tells me 
to put a few days aside.
