I'm writing such an article now for Linux Pro magazine.

However, I'm finding it slow-going. Comparing 32-bit JAD and 64-bit 64 
Studio is unfair on various levels. They do share the common factor of 
being easy to install and configure, but there are significant 
differences after that. There are also many unique features I like about 
each distro.

I'm not compelled to take an "either/or" attitude, I like being more 
inclusive. In point of fact, the distros don't matter that much to me 
per se, they matter because they've taken care of the low-level work 
required for a low-latency system. It's not that I can't do that work, 
it's just that I'm far more involved in actually making music these 
days, which was my original intention in getting heavily involved with 
Linux audio in the first place.

Best,
