Sorry, I promised to be quiet, but now I'm curious, because of this:

    Yep! Gentoo or Linux from the scratch ... hm ... eventually Arch?
      

An seemingly outdated information said "pacman -S jack" will make JACK2
available too. A quick web search doesn't say if there are JACK1 and 2
available for Arch. Is this the distro that already makes the choice
available?

Again sorry.
