Does this list count? > 2) How do you install new releases to your system? Manually with apt-get (or sometimes synaptic). I have never felt comfortable with "apt-get-upgrade". > 3) How often do you build your own kernel for audio systems? I never have for audio work (yet). > 4) If you're not running real Debian, what made you change? I ran Demudi as my first audio system. It worked well (pretty much everything worked right off the bat) but it didn't perform as well as WinXp/Sonar on the same hardware. I felt I could get better performance with a leaner system so I built a Debian system from scratch (using netinstall and manually selecting/installing programs) which gets much better latency numbers than Demudi. I could never get Ubuntu to work with my Delta 1010 cards. I understand that it does work, but I could not make it happen. > 5) If you are running real Debian, have you upgraded to etch or sid? I use etch - I tried sid but there were too many dependency/broken app problems with the software I wanted to use. In all the years I have used Debian (since 2.2 - potato?) I have rarely used stable.
