One more vote for Tango Studio (Karmasutra): 
http://tangostudio.tuxfamily.org/en/tangostudio
Haven't tried it though but I did have some contact with its creator. 
I'm very much in favor of his packaging/remastering ethos (meticulous is 
the key-word). He also offers a very good performing 2.6.33 real-time 
kernel for testing, I think it should still be in the Tango Studio 
unstable branch.
And then there's also Dream Studio: http://dream.dickmacinnis.com/forum/
Or Apodio: http://www.apodio.org/

Best,
