Fernando Lopez-Lezcano of PlanetCCRMA fame, long may he live, packages the best generic rt kernels in the business, in my experience. It is worth it to build your audio workstation around Fedora or CentOS only for those. I am having excellent results in terms of performance and stability with 2.6.26.8-1.rt16, it is a masterpiece. On the debian side I have tried very recently ubuntu-studio and pure-dyne, since I had to tinker with Ubuntu for a paying job and decided to give it a go. After having a myriad of problems trying to boot from a LVM partition, trying to make wifi work and trying to find a combination that didn't send my box deep into guru meditation I flew the first spacecraft available back to good old planet and installed vbox for the Ubuntu stuff. Perhaps you can try porting those kernels to Debian, but I wonder if it is worth the effort. How compatible are the different sets of patches that each distro needs? 2 eurocents L _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
