what's the distro that you would suggest...?

[shankar_ganesh]

what's the **distro** that you would suggest that is **specifically** made for tasks such as
1 image editing,
2 music and multimedia creation and playing.

Any distro, all got basic tools for the above mentioned purposes.

Image Editing = GIMP
Music Creation = Audacity/etc
Playing = Tons, but I like Amarok, the most modern of them all.

I read on some mailing lists that ubuntu isn't so suitable for multimedia editing. But, they are working on it. Here's what that person said

You may be interested in "UbuntuStudio":

*wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio

They are trying to build a Ubuntu derivative suited to audio production
(I just looked at their site and it seems they now also consider video
and graphics, but IIRC it all started as an audio solution)

Unfortunately, from what I gathered from a discussion on the
ubuntu-devel list recently, Ubuntu right now is now very suited to
audio production. A few audio enthusiasts asked for a better suited
kernel for the next version of Ubuntu, and the kernel devs have already
uploaded a modified kernel as a starting point for these people to
evaluate. You should probably get in touch with the UbuntuStudio guys,
join them and test Ubuntu Feisty so as to try that purpose built
kernel, and give feedback. You can find it in
Synaptic under the name "<kernel-version>-lowlatency"
