Ok, I run Ubuntu (recently switched from debian) and although ubuntu is 
performing well and debian very well, I'm interrested in trying out a 
dedicated pro-audio distro. I tried agnula once and was very 
disappointed, but maybe things improved...

Looking at the list, trying to remember which name I heard the most 
times, and trying to stick with something debian-based I guess I should 
try out 64 studio, right?

Could you fill in these datails that I wasn't able to (quickly) loacate 
on the web site:

1) What's the relation with debian? Is it based on testing or stable? Or 
is it totally self contained?

2) What's the release rate?

3) Am I gonna break the whole thing when using it as a "regular" linux, 
with everything that includes (wlan, 3d-accel/compiz, bluetooth, 
suspend/hibernate, cups, dual monitors, all those non-pro-audio things 
that tend to work well in ubuntu and seems to conflict with rock-steady 
audio performance).
