I recommend it highly. It features an -rt patch (low-latency) kernel. Version 2.0 is very stable -- but a little dated (e.g. JACK version 0.100.?, Ardour 0.90.?... or something like that). FWIW, it's based on Debian Etch. It only provides a DVD ISO install, but it is possible to install Etch and upgrade to 64 Studio. Version 3.0 is in alpha/beta testing and is based on Ubuntu Hardy. I'm currently using that, and enjoy it quite a bit. It provides a CD ISO for install. The only trouble I had was with setting up my MidiSport 1x1 firmware loader.
