Please review my distro (if you are a musician)

You've clearly put a lot of work into this (congrats, by the way), so why not spend a little time making the product site look a little nicer?<p>My first instinct when I saw the site was "abandoned open source project" and a strong desire to click away. Reading the intro text didn't really tell me what your thing was. Only after looking at screenshots, lists of pre-installed software, the title of this post, and making a few leaps did I understand what you're actually trying to accomplish.<p>So instead of "mumble-mumble-low-latency-mumble-mumble", how about "[BetterName] - A linux distribution for recording musicians" or similar, followed by a list of <i>benefits</i> to said recording musician.<p>Here is what an OS website needs to look like:<p><a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ubuntu.com/</a><p>Yours doesn't look like that. At all. It looks like every other sourceforge homepage, which means it looks terrible. Get a domain name (for a better product name), spend $400 on a 99designs contest, and spend 20 hours building a nice looking site for your project.<p>For the effor you've put in thus far, your project deserves it.

Please change the name, you've obviously put way too much work into it to have it flounder because of it.

I play guitar, work on linux servers all day long and have professional knowledge of music software... and I can't understand from your description what this actually does. Is it a plugin, host or controller? Does it require other software to operate? What actual guitar playing related functionality does it have? You might want to add this to the opening sentence or at least the opening paragraph.

More feedback (since I would actually use this if I could figure out how).<p>How about some instructions on how to install it? I see a download link that gives me an .iso file. And I see this:<p><i>Also as live-build (v2.0.3-1) uses squashfs v4.0 it generates an ISO that can be burn into a CD the usual way or it can be dd-ed directly into a thumb drive, which is pretty cool.</i><p>... which means nothing. Evidently, it's possible to install it. And it's cool. That doesn't help.<p>Look. You've spent a lot of time and effort building this thing, but then you just stopped. If you weren't on HN asking for feedback, you'd have lost me a long time ago. But I'm trying my best to actually learn about this thing and try it out, and you simply haven't given me enough information to do so.

Awesome! Now I have another distro to play with (also: AVLinux, <a href="http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html</a>) for getting rove (<a href="http://github.com/wrl/rove" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/wrl/rove</a>) up and running with my monome (<a href="http://monome.org/devices" rel="nofollow">http://monome.org/devices</a>)

Sort of unrelated, but looks like you just gave me a nice big list of Linux audio programs to check out :)

Sir, you get an A in my book just for the effort!<p>I've been looking for a way to get a small guitar recording studio going at home, and I got so frustrated with Cubase messing with my audio card that I sort of "gave up". Nobody writes low latency drivers for Windows, in fact, they've seem to have given up on real time recording. (Disclaimer: I'm still on Vista)<p>I will definitely be giving this a try as soon as I get home!

How are you meant to pronounce it?
