Planet is very well maintained, easy to use, and very complete, making it a great model for future work. For now, I would recommend looking at Thac's growing list of rpm's for 9.1 (his entire site can be accessed with urpmi, an apt-get like tool on Mandrake), and/or checking out the main Mandrake repositories, as I understand the Mandrake folks did some rpm building of there own for this release (jack, audacity, etc). Thac's Mandrake 9.1 site can be accesssed with one number different than the address listed above: http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound9.1.html Turn-key itself will also be getting a major update in the coming weeks, including the addition of scripts to automate PlanetCCRMA installs in redhat (with kernel tuning, runlevels, apps, etc), new stuff for Mandrake 9.1, as well as a new and improved core package of utilities, examples, etc, the majority of which are not distro or even *nix specific and have even been used in OSX.
