I just got demudi 1.0, installing regular debian woody 3.0, and then using apt-get to grab alsa, jack, and the other demudi apps. I realized that even though Suse's kernel is better than a stock debian or redhat kernel, I found with apt-get its very easy to install the new low latency demudi kernel, and unlike Suse I don't have to spend $80 every six months to keep things current, everything I wanted from Suse is available with apt-get. I did find a couple of errors with demudi, where sox has a little problem, but most everything worked very easily, especially the hard stuff like installing the new kernel. I can always build sox from source.
