I just got a SUSE Studio Beta test account the other day, and I'm celebrating by creating an appliance for algorithmic composition and synthesis of music. Right now, it has openSUSE 11.1, a Gnome desktop, Pure Data (pd -- the vanilla version, not the extended one) and related packages, CSound and related packages, including Strasheela, ChucK, Rosegarden, Lilypond. and Ardour VST.
So I am looking for testers. If you'd like to test it, send me a message via the "Contact" form at the top left of the page and I'll tell you how to get a copy.
