Well thanks but when I run
dpkg --get-selections
I get around 1600 lines
If yours is similar (or larger) sized I dont know what I'd do with it :-)
Better to give me your sources.list along with the 5-10 top level things you use
Then apt should handle the rest (I guess?)

Thanks -- just a couple of links on the jack/ardour + whatever else
debian setup for a home machine would be very helpful
About me: I am kind of two people:
1. I taught programming in the university for many years (and Im sure
you know the utility of academic computer science :-)
2. I grew up playing a real piano (a Steinway!!) and had nothing to do
with technology (apart from my lp turntable)
Getting these two worlds together is proving more intricate than I imagined
eg Since I dont really know whats a synth I am not getting whats a soft synth
I guess I need some bare hardware other than my computer but not sure
what. For a few days I used my friend's borrowed Tascam US122 which I
could use in windows but not linux.
I must say that Cubase was educational...
Maybe I need that or something like it... What?
