Do make a backup of the current setup!! That may come in handy.
When there was no MIDI jitter for hw midi, this was the first thing I
did. In general I'm making backups very often and I don't sync one
backup archive, I always make completely new backups and keep at least
the last two backups.
All of your preferences will be met by debian. Pulseaudio is optional
and the debian-multimedia team are on the forefront when it comes to
pro-audio packages.
Also note that OpenDAW (64studio's successor in the making) is based on
debian/squeeze.

A while ago I tidied up my HDDs and removed most installs.
I kept Suse 11.2 and Ubuntu Maverick only.
Then I installed Natty.
I'll keep those and additionally install Debian, I hope that Debian
stable isn't outdated, http://packages.debian.org/stable/ ...
If it shouldn't be outdated, I'll install it and stop setting up Natty
immediately.
Thanks a lot,
Ralf
Debian stable is just about the most outdated working Linux system you
can have =). 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.
I like Debian Sid - AptToSid does a nice distro based on Sid. They have
releases that use LXDE or XFCE, so you don't have to contend with the
idiocies called KDE4 or Gnome 3. Only thing is they don't provide an RT
kernel.
I switched from KDE3 to GNOME2, full ACK, KDE4 is idiocy. I hope I can
keep GNOME2 for a while :S, since LXDE and XFCE don't really fit to my
flavour :(. I heard about a 'vintage' option for GNOME3?!
I don't know. I wouldn't bother with any 'vintage' option for GNOME3;
GNOME3 gobbles way too much memory (1GB!!!!) for my taste.
Sorry, I consider all varieties of the GNOME desktop to be an insult.
Their design philosophy appears to be: "Now that we've removed THAT
functionality, what else can we remove?" Eventually, the GNOME desktop
will consist of one button in the middle of the screen that reads:
"Shutdown." ;-)
