Not upset, no. Just pointing out that I truly believe that I reckon it's a bad decision that including the -rt kernel as the default kernel. And I believe it is not the right choice. Which is what I've always thought. I'll be honest here, it's one of the contributing reasons that I don't use the Ubuntu Studio, in favor of the vanilla Ubuntu tweaked to my preferences instead. > The -rt kernel is not included by default.

I guess I can only speak from my own experiences. At the time I last used Ubuntu Studio (forget which release it was), I kept experiencing kernel lock-ups and freezes -- day after day. Until I finally replaced the real-time kernel which WAS installed by default with the vanilla Ubuntu kernel and it solved all my problems. And the aforementioned scenario was at the same time I was contemplating migrating my work system to Linux full time and completely off Windows once and for all. Sadly, at the time I couldn't do it with Ubuntu Studio. Anyway, since then and only after many years of being stuck dual-booting with WinXP, I've migrated all my work as a Photographic and Digital Imaging Professional onto the Linux platform. Ubuntu+KDE4.5. Somewhere along the line I would like to get back to Ubuntu Studio, but not in it's current form. Hence my keen interest in the project as a whole.
