I'm still a bit confused about some aspects of setting up a machine for decent audio work. Does having RT kernel have any negative aspects when the computer is used for general office work? Would it be best to use a different computer for this (or different partition perhaps) and keep the audio M/C strictly for audio and nothing else? Am I right in thinking there are issues with some things (jack) working with root privileges that might have security implications? OK I know that's more than one question :) -- Will J G
