I am a Fedora user, and I use Fedora to make music. But for me personally 
the Fedora Jam spin is not my choice. On my main computer I use the 
standard Fedora desktop distribution with Gnome3, on my EeePC netbook I 
use a lightweight LXDE spin. Then on top of these I install all the music 
related packages that I need from the official Fedora, RPMFusion and 
PlanetCCRMA repositories, including the kernel-rt package.

Why would I use Fedora Jam? I don't even like KDE.

The good thing is that, from the moment people started to think about a 
special Musicians Spin several interesting packages, requested by members 
of this mailinglist, have been added to the official Fedora repositories.

What I would like to see is that I could do something like:

# sudo yum groupinstall "Fedora Jam"

to install a nice selection of must-have music production software, 
like what is now in the Fedora Jam spin, after installing the Fedora 
version of my choice.

Well, I know, it's really easy for me to write down wishes and feature 
requests. The real heroes are people like Brendan and others who have done 
so much of the hard work.
