Hello List!

I am a bit of a newbie when *BSD is concerned, but there isn't a great
deal to keep your software up to date or (de-)install some programs with
debian.
I am using gentoo as my desktop system, but I would suggest debian or
DeMuDi (full featured debian Sarge with extra sound editing programs)
for your needs. Dependencies are checked and installed if needed, and
there is a good possibility to remove programs without breaking things!

It is a bit different with gentoo... Installing works like a charme, but
if you like to remove something, there isn't any dependency checking at
all...=20
