I'm beginning to suspect that it's impossible to keep an audio distro up
to date, and that I'll have to do it manually. Arch64 has a great
system, but their precompiled binaries are very vanilla, and the user
"experience" felt very patched together. It was a chore to do very basic
things, like access my DVD-R (it could only do so in root).

I love how polished Ubuntu is, but keeping some software packages up to
date is a chore. I don't think I'm getting around it, though. I just
wish I could figure out why I can't compile vamp-sdk, or why it is I
need that to compile Rubber Band to begin with.

I think what I'm going to do is make a list of software to remove from
my system, and then simply keep up on that software manually, and hope I
can keep it all working.
