Apodio – linux distribution
If you work with multimedia and you are on linux, you will know that it is not always an easy marriage… Getting all the libraries, making sure that all your hardware (camera, soundcard, graphics card…) is compatible and recognized…
We have recently installed Apodio, which is Mandriva based and it seems to be working quite well! A lot of audio programmes are included, and also there is a preconfigured setup with Jack and Alsa (audio server -not so easy to set up, it basically connects your hardware to your software).
In case of doubt try it as a live cd!
(more about live cd’s on wikipedia)
Pictures and a report of the install party at Nadine here.
And remember, live cd’s do not hurt one bit!
