I'm not too keen about updating Fedora 8.  Everything works OK.  When I

want to record things it works.  I have seen too numerous problems when

doing other updates.
But I would like to get bug fixes and I'm quite interested in trying

out the upcoming new Ardour with MIDI sequencing support.
I used to build my own Linux systems (LFS, BLFS), some 8 years ago, for

both home and work. This is how I started with Linux MIDI.  I've seen

some software that is difficult to build, but not that much, all in

all.  I have never built Ardour.  Are the requierements flexible enough

to make it compile-able using gcc 4.1.2 and GTK 2.0 ?  I could be

interested in compiling the latest sources.
Yeah, one of these days I'll have to update the whole system and I'm

sometimes wondering if I wouldn't go back to make my own system instead

of going with one of the distros.  I'd like to only have what I need

and nothing else, until it's needed.
