Try AV Linux.
Very well tuned for audio, fast, debian squeeze based, full devel-env. for
compiling from source.
Uses LXDE, so it's got a low overhead for desktop management.
You can testdrive a LiveCD/USB-Stick.
Hth,

A good idea. A long time ago I tested it and I like it.
BUT ;) I guess I'll use 64-bit.
I simply will download and install Debian stable right now.
For Ubuntu and Suse I don't like that they switch their releases every
half year or so, OTOH I experienced dependency hell, when Debian were
outdated and I needed to build some audio apps from svn.
By theory Ubuntu is what I would like to use, in life praxis I'm pissed
off at the moment.
I have to bite the bullet, better outdated, than unreliable.
So a few questions to Robin.
It's essential that building
- Qtractor from svn will cause no issues (I'm a tester)
Not that I know or can think of. But I've not compiled it myself recently.
- JACK2 from svn won't cause issues (I
need it regarding to the
-Xalsarawmidi switch, that enables the usage of hw MIDI without
audible jitter, I'm not talking about values called ms, much
below 1 ms)
Definitely not. I'm debugging^wcontributing to jack2dbus on
debian/squeeze and am partly responsible for the current jack2-svn head
as of writing.
- Building an customized kernel-rt is easy to
do (I guess I can
use my current Ubuntu Natty script for debian too? See
attachment)
should work OOTB thanks to make-kpkg.
- Install Ardour3 alpha releases without
issues
sure.
Hopefully evolution (2.30.3-5) can use Evolution
2.32.2 settings for
filters? And not only import the mails?
dunno. but you can get 2.32.2-2 from testing and 2.32.3-1 from sid.
OT: as for filtering email: `imapfilter` is a nifty little tool;
configure it once (and preferably run it on a 24/7 server) and never
worry about switching/updating MUA again.
Any repositories I need to add? Any repositories I
should avoid?
debian-multimedia comes in handy for some non-free codec packages.
See links in my other email for examples.
have fun,
robin
