Ubuntu Studio, last time I checked, was quite good.
MADI might be a good route. The reason I need 64 bit is because of RAM and my storage server. I'm going to be using a combination of VMware and/or KVM for virtualizing windows in a 64 bit environment for virtual synths, vst plugins, and samplers. Thats what I need the ram for. I won't be using a ton of plugins, just a few for compression and gating. But I still need a 24 channel D/A to get to my console. And of course I want linux because of it's reliability. The only reason I don't just fork out the dough for protools is because I don't like digidesign. I like to be different.

Ubuntu studio was going to be my choice OS
