    Impartiality Of Distro Choices Advocated At This Site

    Whilst I'm all for freedom of speech - and certainly don't wish to sound as though I'm taking a pop at anyone here - I can't help noticing that a subset of the membership have a tendency to "push" a particular distro over & above all others.

    Now then, guys... For anyone who may have wanted to take a look at Puppy member 10wt3ch's magical Puppy DAW, Studio 13.37.....read on.

    Hi, all...

    New to this forum, though not new to Linux. Been using it for the best part of a decade, and never regretted the move; 6 months with Ubuntu, over 8 years with Puppy.
