[Techtalk] making music under linux

[Chantal Rosmuller]

Hi Anna, like Kathryn, I also recommend gentoo (although it is not the 
easiest distro to install), it is the only distro that I tried where I 
could install all the software I wanted to use without downloading and 
compiling it by hand. Gentoo downloads and compiles it for you and it 
also solves the dependencies. I use sweep for audio editing and some 
kind of eartrainer I don't recall the name at the moment and I am not 
working on my own pc now :-)
