Thanks everyone for you comments. I'm inclined to give Arch a try, if it
doesn't work I'll fall back to debian.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
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've used arch linux on my laptop for 5 years, and while I loved it as a general
purpose OS, the AUR was just more problematic with audio software than building on my
own.
In the end, I dumped it in favor of debian (a 6 years old install, still on its feet)
because of the convenience of the kxstudio repos. I just feared having to update my
system, and didn't really like to fill my bandwidth with large updates.
If I were you I'd stick with debian.
Of course there is the downside of packages being compiled without optimizations, and you
do miss the PKGBUILD system, which is the best I've seen on linux land.
Cheers.
