[linux-audio-user] debian / ubuntu

[Jon H]

I've been running Debian "testing" that has then been dist-upgraded to the
latest "unstable" and running a few scripts and a realtime capable kernel
called "slh" found at http://www.sidux.com (a project to build on the latest
"sid")

Been pretty nice too.
