In the next couple of days I should be getting a new

with a 64bit intel cpu running at 3.1G. This is really intended to replace my
ageing 'office' machine, but I thought I might as well set it up for decent
audio too.
As this will be a clean install, I'm wondering what people might suggest as
for best distro to make full use of it - all my other machines have had a
progression of debian upgrades so are probably full of crud.
I just replaced an unstable AMD Phenom box with an Intel Pentium (64-bit, dual core, 3GHz)
box. A fresh install of Debian Sid (sans Aptosid) is running happily on it. I tried simply
booting the old machine's installed Aptosid on it, but apparently the jump from Phenom
to 4th gen Haswell Intel was too much and it wouldn't work.
I miss my Audiophile :( but the built-in audio works just fine.
