I've been using Mandriva for a very long time now, as it's been good

to me for audio work.  But, they are having financial troubles and

looking to be bought out.  Maybe they'll survive that, and maybe they

won't.  At some point I might want to change distributions.  My two

initial choices for something to look at would be:
  - PCLinuxOS, for it's similarity to and roots in Mandriva

  - Fedora, as CCRMA enhancements for sound are targeted at Fedora
My 3 audio primary audio uses are:
  - Ardour with high-end cards and low latency

  - Audacity

  - Amarok
I also listen to and convert WMA and Apple audio files into open

formats, so PLF (Penguin Liberation Front) packages for Mandriva

have been wonderful.  If a distro won't serve my audio needs, then

it's not usable by me.
Of course, whatever distro I choose must do all the usual

home/office stuff, and be able to help my kids with schoolwork at

least as well as Mandriva has.
I downloaded both of these distros and will be trying them when I

get time.  Does anyone have any advice as I go into this?
Thanks....
