I've heard of Elive and even looked at their site but like you say they require a donation to use the software. It's not that I'm not willing to pay for good work and I like to support developers but I'd like to try it before I buy. I guess I've been spoiled by all this amazing free (as in beer) software we have in the Linx world. Perhaps trying a development version is the way forward @Rob Thanks for the suggestion I’ll add it to my list.

Another distro you might want to try (review), although experimental, is the free Elive Compiz release- http://www.elivecd.org/Download/e17-compiz I've only used it as a live CD, but it's pretty cool. I say free because I think Elive requires a mandatory donation for their other, stable releases. Rob Hey Dan,

Looks an interesting app I'll have a look again thanks. Maybe it's the sound engineer in me but I still like using the big old mixing desk rather than doing everything in software, I like to play with faders :D This could be a good way to get going quickly though. @fab Pat recommends his butt, For streaming?! :P I'll take a look at that as well thanks, might be able to install it on an old machine as the streaming server.

Also, Pat from TLTTS recommends <a href="http://butt.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">butt</a> for Icecast streaming. I love the logo. Also, Pat from TLTTS recommends butt for Icecast streaming.

It's a relatively simple but powerful app that should do the job just fine. I'm not going to shamelessly advertise the radio station I DJ on but if you're interested in using it to broadcast send me an email and I'll get back to you asap.

I used to have hundreds but now they're mostly gone, odd how things change isn't it? I might try and find a more scibbley (if that's a word) font to go on the logo but this isn't bad for a couple of mins work.
