For those of us who'd like to use Linux as a serious musical production 
environment in the near future, it is important to have the choice of a 
system that does exactly that. This is, audio should not skip even on a 
heavily loaded system. We do not care much about graphical 
responsiveness. Think of something like Pro Tools LE running over Mac 
OS, with up to 32 audio tracks being mixed without the help of a DSP 
chip. Even when CPU usage gets higher than 80%, you don't get a single 
audio glitch.

Of course, for musical production, also the lowest latency achievable is 
a must.

This is only a humble opinion which I hope you find useful.

Regards, Ismael
