I know CentOS has been used with the Fedora based PlanetCCRMA in the

That's the problem: it seems PlanetCCRMA is still "on the works"
for Fedora 20
Hi Roberto,
Argh. My fault, Fedora 20 has been "feature complete" for quite a while,
I just have not updated the web site.
and Fedora 21 has been out there already for a while.
2 weeks?
Fedora 21 support is almost there (I posted an announcement in the
Planet CCRMA list), only some packages left to redo (probably the most
important of those is pd-extended). For every release there is something
that stops compiling and needs to be updated or patched...
Something to remember is that most of what Planet CCRMA used to package
is now part of Fedora proper. Qjackctl, Ardour, rtirq and all usual
suspects are in Fedora, so you do not need additional repositories for
those. As other poster points out there is even a "spin" for audio
called Fedora Jam. Planet CCRMA still maintains the rt patched kernel
and "exotic" software like supercollider, pd-extended, chuck and others.
I hope those will migrate to Fedora in due time.
Besides, I'd like to use more-or-less standard repositories as much as
possible.
If you do not need an rt patched kernel Fedora is enough...

Anyway, from what I've gathered from my "investigations" these last
few days, I'm starting to realize that it's going to be easier to simply
install a LTS version of Ubuntu and stick to it: things like low latency
kernels and dkms are in the default repositories, while you have to
"cook" your own in CentOS. I could do it, but it'd be a maintenance
nightmare. And that's precisely what I'd like to avoid.
A pity, because each time I upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu and
something breaks (usually the sound stuff; in particular, usually
pulseaudio), I angrily vow to switch to something else (fists raised to
the sky and all that). Guess it's time to ditch pulseaudio for good and
use only jack, and see if that makes everything easier.
Thanks,
