[ardour-users] where do i start

[derek holzer]

Hi,

no reason to do a complete reinistall of Fedora or Gentoo if you are 
happy with Debian. The Agnula/Demudi packages include Jack and Ardour, 
and should be merged into the Testing branch of Debian. Try adding

deb http://apt.agnula.org/demudi testing main local extra

to your /etc/apt.sources list, then you can install Ardour and Jack from 
there. You could get the whole collection of apps, including an 
audio-optimized low-latency kernel, by issuing a

apt-get install demudi-install demudi-base

etc etc.

I have some notes on my own experience with a DeMuDi install here:

Pay special attention to the video drivers section if that's important 
to you.

More info on Demudi can be found here:

good luck,
d.
