I use Aptosid, which is Debian Sid based and realy very stable (the

Aptosid team do a lot of checking of Sid packages and have their own

scripts that help filter out the Sid oddities. There's an RT kernel in

Sid now, requires the PAE extensions so I haven't tried it out (my music

systems don't support PAE).
