You may also want to try UbuntuStudio, which is an Ubuntu derivative designed for audio/video
work (see http://ubuntustudio.org/) - it includes a low latency kernel, which also ensures
that the main program you're working on gets most of the CPU.  However, it's not a panacea -
see discussion here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442942 which indicates that for
slower CPUS, Dynebolic may be better. 

Dynebolic (see http://dynebolic.org/) is a live CD that has many neat-looking features, and
claims to run in 64 MB, which I'm a bit sceptical about since they use XFCE not Fluxbox/JWM -
I've found that Damn Small Linux works OK in 96 MB as long as I don't run very large apps.

Does anyone know how UbuntuStudio 8.04 handles JACK? AFAIK Ubuntu has switched to using
PulseAudio by default, but last time I checked, their pulseaudio package does not have JACK
sink/source modules because JACK is in universe.
