I'm kind of afraid to ask, but what do y'all think of AV Linux?  It is more like an "appliance" than a distribution.  Pluses and minuses for that, I guess.  There are no security updates; you just use what you got (and hope for the best), until you install a new version. I get the new version every year or 2.  I keep a detailed list of steps and file backups, for how to re-configure a new version for my audio/piano system.  It gives me low latency and good performance, out of the box.
