m-dist project is a small, 140 MB, embedded Linux system tuned for MIDI and audio use. There's no software to install; you download the ISO, burn it to CD, pop it in your computers cd drive and reboot.
m-dist is distributed as an ISO image, so you will need to burn this to a CDROM. As it's quite small it fits nicely onto an 8 cm mini-cd. The PC being used needs to be able to boot from CDROM, most systems these days will be able to do this but you might have to enable this in the BIOS.
A minimum of 64 Meg RAM is required for m-dist but 128 Meg or greater is strongly recommended. If the PC has more than 256 Megs memory you can load m-dist fully into RAM, making it faster to load applications. At the boot splash type (without the quotes) "linux copy2ram eject" and then press enter/return.
Here are some key features of "m dist":
