My machine was freezing with Ubuntu Studio 9.04 (rt kernel with nvidia card). 
It seems to me that one have to be pragmatic when it comes to distros and test 
diffrent ones in order to make it work on a system.  

Finally, I ended up using Fedora Core 10 with CCRMA, and now, the good old 
stability I had one year ago is back. Libs and apps in the repos are quite new 
too, so I don't need to compile every sound related app like crazy in order to 
have a new, stable (and "modern") system.

I have to admit that it took long time before i was willing to go from Ubuntu 
to something different, but after 2 evenings, my systems heart (Ardour, 
Rosegarden, Linuxsampler (Fantasia) and jack is working as it should. 

It's good to finally have time to make some music again ;-)
