I vote for Fedora and the CCRMA package of audio/video software!

Seriously, Allen, you might want to consider installing the FC distro 
with the package from Stanford University's Center for Computer Research 
in Music and Acoustics.  Our organization would be delighted to 
participate with you, and explore some of the educational programs the 
computer setup promises.  Sure, it's geared to the Arts, but, when you 
think about it, there isn't one discipline that doesn't use multimedia 
applications to provide project-based learning.  Let me know if you want 
to discuss this further.
Tom
