    Musicians OS - Mandriva, Jacklab, Ubuntu?

    Hi. I'm new to Linux and to these forums. Just trying to find a place to start. Any assistance appreciated.

    What I want to do:
    Run music software for writing, recording, mixing and clean-up; produce promo CDs for a local band. Music software for Linux seems to be abundant and impressive. I am working with some Windows-dependent bandmembers who are looking forward to the weaning process and I'm trying to pin down a likely OS distro. I have a fresh 160 GB HD and considering putting Mandriva 2008 on it, dual boot with WinXP on original HD.

    What I want to know:
    Is there a favorite OS distro among Linux-user musicians?
    I would appreciate any opinions/comparisons on Mandriva, Jacklab, Ubuntu.

    Hey, although i haven't tried it yet, 64Studio is supposed to be pretty good. It is a fairly extensive multimedia linux os, using open source software, for recording, editing, VST software etc. Worth checking out.....

    Somehow I totally missed 64 studio in my searches. Thank you for the information. One more option to look into.
