Ive been running 64studio for a while now it has realtime kernel and is loaded with programs required for audio / video
Its based on etch stable and comes with gnome desktop which is great if you use gnome!
Also because its stable you do get a slightly older version which is basically rock solid!
Now i use kde so you would pull it with apt IE apt-get install kdebase
This would give you kdebase 3.5.5 which is quite old but solid but i need a newer version which has some wizards and other items in kontact
So we use backports – its quite easy actually – get a terminal and su – to root
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
add the line
#etch backports
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
ctrl and x to save then
apt-get update
then get what you want from backports like this
apt-get -t etch-backports install packagename!!
I ran apt-get -t etch-backports install kdebase and i got kde 3.5.7-4~bpo40+1
Cooool!
