I've been running Debian "testing" that has then been dist-upgraded to the
latest "unstable" and running a few scripts and a realtime capable kernel
called "slh" found at http://www.sidux.com (a project to build on the latest
"sid")
Been pretty nice too.

Hallo,

Basically the only sense i've gotten is that ubuntu is friendly, debian
is balanced(?) and gentoo is for freaks. I kid.
Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo are like red, green and blue. ;)
- is testing a good choice? From the description
I am expecting
current, but not bleeding edge packages and a machine that is unlikely
to blow up.
Yes, running testing is a good choice for an audio machine.
- will it be "easier" to do a machine
based on compile-installs etc and
not just relying on apt-get with debian than ubuntu. So therefore might
it be easier to transition to a realtime machine. For my purposes
edgy's 18ish kernel hasn't failed me yet, but hey.
Maybe you want to recompile just for learning it? Search for the
Agnula/Demudi kernel howto, this makes it easy to compile a new kernel
with make-kpkg on Debian/Ubuntu.
The stock Debian kernel doesn't have prepemption enabled AFAIR, so you
will probably get better performance if you build your own with
preepmt enabled.
Ciao
