Try our OpenDAW beta 1, it has some rough edges in the installer, but
has a solid Debian Squeeze base and 2.6.33-RT kernel:

Squeeze has got at least another two years in it. Debian should last
indefinitely ;-)

I don't think the Debian project will follow all or most of Ubuntu's
recent design decisions. Even if they did, we have quite a lot of
flexibility about what packages to include in our own isos.

Cheers!
