For the talk I'm delivering Alban, I need to think beyond conventional radio tools.
These are 20-something folks I'll be speaking to, and they: 1) Are unlikely or unwilling to have knowingly used a Linux computer, 2) Are savvy in multimedia, hence the need for graphics, video, music mixing, desktop publishing, streaming and webpage authoring, 3) Want to plug in and be productive *now*, not go YASTing for the programs they want. A purposed multimedia distro gets all the off-air tools up in one place at one time, while leaving out what is not needed. I'm looking at AV Linux, Tango Studio, Dream Studio and 64 Studio; but could certainly use input from folks who have used/found others.

Thanks. Most of "radio" tools are available in "classic" distros (like Debian, Ubuntu or others). I don't think specific distros are needed to use free software in a radio environment.
