I'm not sure my approach/perspective would suit average users since my day job is linux system administration ... But, I run a standard sarge installation and compile my audio apps from source. This has worked well for me so far. But, I'm comfortable configuring and compiling my own kernels, alsa-drivers, jackd, sound libraries and applications. It probably helps that I mostly only use ecasound right now, so I don't have many gui library issues to contend with. And, well ... it's only one app. I've been thinking for a while of trying more applications. Ardour, muse, swami and fluidsynth are on my list. When I get around to it I'll probably just try to compile them from source, too. But, I have left a couple partitions free on my root drive for trying out demudi and possibly something else. I'm hesitant to jump into using demudi, though, not knowing what happens to the project once the funded development period ends. -Eric Rz.
