I think that it really depends on your needs. I'm very happy right now with the very latest testing kernel from the developers. Basically 2.6.14-rc3 + rt7 However many others might not be. It was hard to find a configuration that compiled. Once I did the side effects so far have been very minimal. Then again my application is essentially recording studio oriented. I need very low real time latencies. This kernel is giving me that, but there are costs, such as no ATI driver support, etc. So, I think it really depends on your needs. As for ck-sources, it builds for me and it does run, but so farit doesn't seem to play with the Jack server and Jack apps very well. I expect it's me and not ck-sources, but I don't know. So, my desktop usage is probably very different from yours and we end up making different choices. My 2 cents, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
