Debian stable is just about the most outdated working Linux system you

don't expect to see some new software for maybe up to a year or 2. If
you really have to have the latest there'll be stability sacrifices to
make, but something like Arch (which I use) is great. More maintenance
needed though, especially if you update close to daily. Once you've
got a good system going it makes sense to only update when you don't
have a big project coming up.

When there was no MIDI jitter for hw midi, this was the first thing I
did. In general I'm making backups very often and I don't sync one
backup archive, I always make completely new backups and keep at least
the last two backups.
I've got a absolutely stable and MIDI jitter
free Ubuntu MIDI and audio
worksattion, regarding to audio apps, but it was very time consuming to
set it up
Do make a backup of the current setup!! That may come in handy. All of your preferences will be met by debian.
Pulseaudio is optional
and the debian-multimedia team are on the forefront when it comes to
pro-audio packages.
Also note that OpenDAW (64studio's successor in the making) is based on
debian/squeeze.

A while ago I tidied up my HDDs and removed most installs.
I kept Suse 11.2 and Ubuntu Maverick only.
Then I installed Natty.
I'll keep those and additionally install Debian, I hope that Debian
stable isn't outdated, http://packages.debian.org/stable/ ...
If it shouldn't be outdated, I'll install it and stop setting up Natty
immediately.
Thanks a lot,
Ralf
