I'm using the stock unstable version of Debian. It also have everything
you need (I don't think it has the patched kernel, but it does have the
source and the low-latency patches as separate packages). I typically
build most things from CVS also, just to stay on the bleeding edge of
things -- JACK, Ardour, JAMin and Rosegarden, primarily.
