Hi Will,
That is good news indeed! I know a lot of people were miffed when you
announced you were switching to using buntu as the base for the new
version and rightfully so- especially since 10.04 as the distro seems
to be spiralling to its demise with stupid decisions.
Ubuntu does a few things that (greatly) improve its user-friendliness
for noobs hence its what I used to recommend to beginners but I can't
recommend something that doesn't work properly so now I'll be
recommending Debian Mint to newbs or the new 64studio when that gets
released for people who want to do audio- when it finally arrives
(version 6.6?;)

I've been waiting for an update on this too
:(
Stay tuned, there will be a public announcement next month :-)
As for Debian vs. Ubuntu, using Ubuntu as a base for the 64 Studio 3.x
series releases forced a number of compromises which I was never
entirely happy with. We're now using Squeeze-based components to create
our next distro, and I'm glad to say that the early performance results
are very promising.
