This is great for stability (as the name implies), but don't expect to see some new software for maybe up to a year or 2. If you really have to have the latest there'll be stability sacrifices to make, but something like Arch (which I use) is great. More maintenance needed though, especially if you update close to daily. Once you've got a good system going it makes sense to only update when you don't have a big project coming up. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
