One of the Puppy linux distro-derivative creators,
'Smithy', has integrated LinVst with qtractor,
by way of creating a .pet file. 'pets' are installers for one,
or a group of related dependant files, to add functionality to
a Puppy linux release. In this case, using a
Puppy derivative called Artful-Pup, the dev created
pets for jackd, Cadence, Qtractor/LinVst/some-MDA-effects,
and Audacity, so most any of the many Puppy versions
can be set up for audio production. LinVst will be
available from the multimedia menu, once the qtractor
.pet is installed.

A basic Puppy setup is called 'frugal install', where the
user boots from cd/dvd/usb, and allows the system to create
a growable save-file, in squash format, encrypted if desired,
and placed where it will be found in later boots. C:\
/media/usb0 /media/sdb2 yada yada

Puppy also allows for .sfs files, used to add major functions
at a time desired, but without permanently installing them.
A .sfs file is chosen for loading by a simple utility gui.

Straying towards back on topic, I've used Reaper and wine
in many releases of Puppy Studio/Studio 1337,
which use apps compiled with a custom RT kernel, for a fast,
solid, and portable production experience.
