Another debian live cd that has proved very good at dealing with new
hardware etc, and has a very long track record, is aptosid. This team
made sidux, and before that kanotix. Almost pure debian sid, with a
small repo of bug fixes and configuration files, and a nice manual.
http://aptosid.com/
I run that on my desktop/server box and I'm planning to put it on my
laptop. They do a great job of smoothing some of the rough edges of Sid.
Just note that Sid no longer includes the NV (open source NVidia)
driver. It includes the newer Nouveau (open source NVidia) driver.
Unfortunately, Nouveau doesn't support the older NVidia hardware ...
Their newest update now includes an RT kernel 3.0 as an option.
As far I know there isn't a aptosid rt kernel, but in debian/sid there
is a 3.0-rt amd64 kernel now.
That's the one I'm talking about. Where it originates, I don't know. I
get it through Aptosid.
Well, I mention that it isn't a aptosid kernel because I fight some time
against walls to get a rt kernel into aptosid. Last comment by aptosid
kernel maintainer was "That will never happen"
The way you mention it, implicit that there is a interest by the aptosid
developers for Pro Audio Users, that simply isn't the case. I'm myself
was a sidux/aptosid user for many years and lately give up to talk with
the main developers of aptosid about the need of Pro Audio Users.
So, it isn't "their update", it is made by Debian Kernel Team,
Aptosid is basically a smoothing out of Sid, so I don't use aptosid
because they contribute great gobs of new packages.
Honour whom honours been entitled.
True. Yay, Debian! Why doesn't Ubuntu include an RT kernel and throw out
that worthless PulseAudio crap?
Isn't that also a part of this thread were this post belongs to ?
Yup.
