Well, rather a long time getting back on this!
I've decided to stick to separate machines. Apart from any lingering
security doubts, I intend to go 64bit for the music 'pooter and there
are a surprising number of office type apps that are still not
available in 64bit versions - and seem to have no immediate prospect of
being so.
I know I could probably compile some of these from scratch, but I would
*much* prefer to spend this time on my music!
P.S.
Best of all quality time is currently in Denge Wood on the odd days
we have good weather.

Does having RT kernel have any negative aspects
when the computer is
used for general office work? Would it be best to use a different
computer for this (or different partition perhaps) and keep the audio
M/C strictly for audio and nothing else?
AFAICT there are no particular disadvantages if you are using the RT options
in the mainline kernel. If you have applied Ingo Molnar's patch there are
known tradeoffs with stability and network speed, in which case you may be
better off using a separate set-up for office work. I'm not sure about the
security implications.
