if you want a 'canonical', 'trusted' binary of fairly recent vintage of a
somewhat popular app, im sure you can't go wrong
but for stuff like audio where 98% of the stuff you want to instal resides in Git/Hg,
ive had much greater availability and ease with two solutions:
proaudio overlay (for gentoo) and Paludis (for handling of hg/git/vcs depchain updating)
and the AUR / archaudio.org project for Arch..
- Manual install (like arch Linux) is fine and
probably preferred. (manual is
fine, but complete default instructions would be needed)
Regardless of what may or may not be wrong with Ubuntu Studio,
I think you should still choose to use a system with debian
packaging.
Yes, it has its faults, but no other packaging system comes near
it for ease of distribution, security, reliability, upgrade-ability
and so on.
