I would go so far as to say it doesn't matter here. I would say go for something Ubuntu based only because there's alot of focus to get working packages there. Like akirad's repo. You could use Studio as a base and not select the other tasks on install and add what you want later. That will give you a very slim base. This all depends on your use-case. -Cory K. _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
