Hi, I'm checking out my distro options for a Linux machine I will use to record music and do MIDI with. I'm mostly a Debian adept, so I was thinking of adding the demudi packages to my sources.list, but they seem a bit out of date (there is newer stuff in sid than in the demudi specific repositories ?). Planet CCRMA looks very promising, it even includes a low latency patched kernel :) (anyone having experience with this distro ?). Gentoo seems nice too, albeit maybe a bit harder to install. The most important thing is probably the availability of music related programs (packages). Aside from the distro question, which kernel do you prefer ? I know I need the low latency patches in here: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/schedlat.html, but aside from these patches, what should I definitely include in the kernel ? I guess the pre-emptible kernel patch too (the planet CCRMA distro has it). kind regards, Vincent PS: amyone got the link to Benno Sononer's (I hope I spell it right :) latencytest ?
