yeah, i read about mirror image somewhere. sounds like they got a great
setup over there.

im not a complete noob to linux :) also, im not too fond of fedora.
ive tried AGNULA and Ardour runs great on it, but i want to choose exactly
what goes on my system and how its configured.
nice all-in-one distro though.

whoops, forgot about emerge. but i dont think emerging it would build with
vst support, would it?
