Hi Ralf, much of what you seem to desire from Debian corresponds with the Debian Multimedia Project tasks:- http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia "The Debian Multimedia project aims to make Debian a good platform for audio and multimedia work. This basically means packaging/maintaining multimedia applications and libraries, and collaborating with other maintainers or teams in order to improve audio/video support in Debian." With reference to RT in the kernel:- The Debian Multimedia team is not working on including a kernel image with the realtime-patches applied in Debian. Much of the realtime-patches have been accepted in the mainline kernel, to the point that for most purposes the stock Debian kernel is suitable even for realtime-like work. That's from:- http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia#Realtime_kernel Where you'll also find links to other repositories. As the Debian Multimedia Project has some of the original DeMuDi (later Studio64) developers - it would seem fragmentary not look for what you want there first. While re-compiling the kernel and tweaking the init settings may well be beyond the base user - a "base" user should never be more than an operator anyway. If the knowlege level is such that finding and reading documentation is beyond them - then what hope do they have of using Ardour - let alone Rosegarden? Even kernel building can be a point-and-click affair:- http://kcheck.sourceforge.net/ There are also the following Debian based distros that are optimised for multimedia:- 64 Studio http://www.64studio.com/ AVLinux http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.org.ar/ Studio to Go! http://www.ferventsoftware.com/ Ubuntu Studio http://ubuntustudio.org/ Puredyne http://puredyne.org/ I hope some of this proves useful to someone.
