Just to say: I agree. The only way to get a kernel perfectly suited to
your needs is to compile your own - and it's actually very easy. I would
say pretty much any distro which supports compiling your own kernel can
be used for pro audio, if you apply the relevant tweaks.
Have you considered running two kernels and selecting from them at boot?
Then you can have a super streamlined audio kernel and a more
general-purpose kernel for web browsing / running your wireless card etc.

Hi,
64studio it's debian with a RT kernel so IMHO there's no need in using
it when you can have a brand new debian lenny and adding the rest.
I have a lenovo R61 and it works perfectly even with the poor intel
onboard audio card.
Compile/patching a kernel it's quite easy following this good tutorial
(
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Low_latency_howto) in order
to obtain a RT one.
Debian has also a kernel-package suite to build kernels and generate a
debian archive (.deb)
Wireless tools and other wireless related pkgs are in debian, you only
have to be sure to load the proper kernel module for your wireless card
when booting.
Ardour can easily be installed using subversion
(
http://ardour.org/download_full) and following the howto at
http://ardour.org/building
That's my belief as debian fan but if you don't like the "debian way"
have a look at
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/

Hi
I have been around several distributions for my music makeing. What I
need is a steaddy distribution for music makeing and some support for
wireless etc...
I allways seems to end up using 64Studio it's the only distribution I
can use without haveing a lot of x-runs, but I can't get my wireless
netcard working.
My hardware is a Lenovo T61 and RME Multiface + PCMCIA card.
I'm a noob in compiling my own kernels so I'm most confident using
pre-compiled kernels, is there any help to get out there :)
Hope this was understandable.
/Sv-e
