if i use any distribution at all, it will probably be demudi, which in turn is based on debian. but i really don't care about distributions. they have caused me so much grief developing ardour that i prefer to think about "linux". my machine, for example, is a hybrid of many different things. it works great. in fact, i would imagine that the machines will have a system disk based largely on a (filtered) mirror of my own system. the only reason why distributions might matter is in terms of upgrade tools. but my impression is that of the good tools work on all distributions, so ... anyway, there are lots of questions here that i don't want to try answer till ardour is closer to stable usability. --p
