...agreed, but sadly enough, many people prefer to let you feel how much more
knowledgeable and clever they are, happily ignoring anything *they* don't know,
or don't consider or care about.

Are you sure this "new release" is going to be sufficiently stable?
Just this summer, several of us got burned by the Ubuntu 8.04 which, if you ask
me, better had been released as "Ubuntu 8.06". Prior, Ubuntu had quite a
reputaion of having well tested and stable releases that "just work", but...
well, anyway, it can be difficult to find out the right thing to do, especially
if you are awaiting fixes for problems with your specific hardware.


Excuse me, I ignored any messages about upgrading, because until now I was in
the middle of some productions and didn't want to "touch a running system".
But I recall people upgrading to lenny bassed systems since this spring and
currently 64Studio has a testing branch, which also is based on lenny.
Just a quick glance at :
http://apt.64studio.com/backports/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/

showes that they provide a prebuilt 2.6.24 and 2.6.26 kernel with realtime patch
("-multimedia-686") for 32bit systems but only 
linux-image-2.6.21-1-multimedia-amd64
for AMD64. Funny. I am running a 2.6.22-1-multimedia-amd64, which, if IIRC
was provided by 64studio a long time ago.


What's going on here? In the past, 64Studio was a very reliable source when
it came to picking a real stable combination for music production. Am I right
that this and the fact there isn't any newer combination on the 64Studio testing
apt repository together indicate that there are currently some problems with
newer RT kernels for AMD64? (probably we all are aware of the message from
paul davis regarding jackd 109)


It may well be that currently actually there is *no* combination which is
reasonable stable and reasonable up-to-date. We had this situation several times
in the past. Even if there are plenty of distros that work fine for the average
user.

Cheers,
Hermann
