Real Time Kernels are available from PlanetCCRMA: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetcore/20/x86_64/repoview/kernel-rt.html There are concerns about the implementation of Real Time Kernel as expressed in the Musician's Guide: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Musicians_Guide/sect-Musicians_Guide-CCRMA_Security_and_Stability.html I am not a systems programmer so I can't speak to these concerns. Some of the names of the real time kernel developers listed on the PlanetCCRMA kernel-rt page are Red Hat employees. I would like to see Fedora be the premier linux distribution for music. But until we can overcome the concerns listed in the Musician's Guide we will probably not have a real time kernel in the Fedora repositories. Maybe a Fedora "Re-Mix", or Fedora.Next and Workstation with the works with Fedora software library may break the ice. -- Jeff
