I'm looking through alioth and see some interesting projects but they have no notice of a package repo and the mailing lists are full of spam. > 2) I usually don't. If I need to I'll try a backport, though this is failing with the version of jackd in sid. I don't know why. I used to have issues with a split of packages - some wanting a newer jack and some wanting an older one. Haven't had problems in at least a couple of months, I don't think. > 3) I try not to as much as I can. Kernel compiling is a waste of time unless absolutely necessary for device support. I find myself compiling kernels for sound more than any thing else (video, web services). I find dealing with stock kernels to be a waste of time. It takes me five minutes to answer the make oldconfig questions. > 4) I'm running sarge, eagerly awaiting etch.

All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
