Talking about 64 Studio: I think I subscribed to the mailing list and I reported there a problem while installing it. Since then I've seen no activity in the mailing list. Zero messages.

Here in Spain people just ask "No Cubase, no Reason, no Ableton Live there!? Shit!" Which is specially funny given that they usually are non authorized users of that privative software. They use cracks and never payed a pennie for using them. Maybe that's the point, they've always been using software "for free", why should they be using "free" software? > The point for me is not to have a Multimedia kernel but a "Server" > Kernel and a "Desktop" Kernel.

If you select no desktop packages, then install a server kernel. If you select desktop packages, then autoconfigure a preemptive kernel plus rtlimits plus high resolution timer in sysctl.conf, etc. Cordially, Ismael -- Ismael Valladolid Torres m. +34679156321 La media hostia j.

A multimedia dedicated distro should ship /etc/security/limits.conf configured for realtime but not a generic distro. Letting all process from a user in the group audio getting realtime could pose a security problem in a server setup. Cordially, Ismael -- Ismael Valladolid Torres m. +34679156321 La media hostia j.

That's not the case.

I agree with that. A system suitable for those who enjoy multimedia just for fun is very different than a system for those who use a system for multimedia creation. Indeed almost nobody really needs jackd to be installed unless she pretends to use ardour, zynaddsubfx or similar soft. So I think it's ok that Debian doesn't focus on multimedia creation given there are more suitable distros adapted from the Debian main one.

The point about the wrapper is not starting the server, is to connect to the server and connect application's jack outputs to physical ports automagically whenever posible.
