I have been testdriving the 64bit version of Kanotix, and I am also
quite pleased with it.  The problem is that neither Kanotix, nor
Knoppix can see my wireless lan card (a NetGear wg311t).  I could
probably get it working using an ndiswrapper, but that is more fudging
than I am willing to accept.  So far, Debian is the most functional
non-commercialized distro for my situation.

Does anyone know of a "complete" freeware solution for mixing audio
CDs from mp3, oog, etc. type files?  Unfortunately, I have not been
able to find one with a feature set that includes stuff like audio
file editing, crossfading, fade-in/fade-out etc.  I use Nero Ultra
Edition v6.6 under Win2k and have not been able to find a way to do
the same things under Linux.  It looks to me like I could probably
piece something together eventually, but I can't afford to spend the
time to do things that way.  I am a church planting missionary in
Costa Rica, Central America and use the software to create CDs for our
worship each week.
