If you had to choose a distro soly(sp?) for DJing, which one would you choose?

I chose Gentoo because what other distro lets you build the whole system with customized CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS like mine?
[code:1:db78d6a1b0]CFLAGS="-O3 -mtune=pentium-m -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fvisibility-inlines-hidden"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"[/code:1:db78d6a1b0]

Hello,

I had totaly agree, Gentoo is the more powerful distrib i never seen.
Unlike Debian, the portage system is more stable (....).

The number of package is very impressive now !

The other distrib i like too is Mandriva because it is (was...) the easiest distrib to install. However, it appears to me that it was sometimes unstable.

I voted other: PCLinuxOS.

It is an easy and stable distribution with plenty of music software. I packaged some.
I suppose that this poll can be the main one soon...
