Look here: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/Mandriva/official/current Up to higher level directory SRPMS 09/18/2007 12:00:00 AM i586 04/10/2008 12:21:00 AM x86_64 04/10/2008 12:21:00 AM Here is at least two separate identical distributions of the Intel "architecture", so it can be done and has happened. Perhaps x86_64 will be fine-grained enough to define a pleasant platform seen from an audio developers perspective? Which means death to sse, long live sse3! :-D IIRC the current celeron 540M should fit the definition for a low cost alternative. > I am still convinced that runtime detection is a much more sensible solution. > -- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
