Debian and Demudi.

Apt-get, for the most part. I run testing (etch).

Once every version or so.

Demudi had more packages. But demudi is mostly real debian now so I've
come full circle.

I used to have issues with a split of packages - some wanting a newer
jack and some wanting an older one. Haven't had problems in at least a
couple of months, I don't think.

I find dealing with stock kernels to be a waste of time. It takes me
five minutes to answer the make oldconfig questions.

Stop waiting.
