>GENTOO. Man. Perhaps it's just me, but it took me months to get Gentoo up and >running, with help from a couple of folks posting to this thread. I admit it >wasn;t months continually. I got a bit frustrated, and left it partially >installed on the drive, going back to it from time to time, as it wasn't >going to beat me. Now it's working just fine, music apps and all. Nigel Henery: Yah, that's where i'm at. It's nigh on finals week and i'm procrastinating in my studies to make time to wrestle with gentoo video drivers ( i845G, no high rez and no /dev/agpgart, currently seeking help as Higgaion in the gentoo forums, if anyone has overcome these insues before and would like to help :-) ). So i was really just wondering if gentoo has ever successfully been used as a low-latency audio system, to determine weather i should toss in the gloves, as i'm feeling rather defeated. But i can't think of anything worth doing with XP on the 50 Gigs i stole from it's drive for gentoo, so I suppose i'll let it simmer and just try not to think about it 'til the semester is over. thanks to everyone who replied. I'm thinking seriously about replacing that Mandrivia with either ubunto or planet ccrma so i can still use my computer for some fun in the gentoo-interum of consernation... because mandrivia 2006 totaly wacked out my urpmi (the dependency resolver for rpms in mdk) and now it fusses about md5 keys, and can't resolve it's own dependencies, and i told it to just to do it anyways.. OOPS. just to be fair, I've got mdk 10.1 on this here laptop now, and it's been rather stable and useful. So an other lesson i learned from trial and error and y'alls replies "if it ain't broke..." Gratefull, Brian
