I suggest you look at the Red > Hat kernel source code. Mike, I can see from your email address and that of the individual you copied on this message that you are associated with Redhat. I hope you understand that I am not. I am just a lowly user. I am not a software guy at all. I'm just someone who actually buys your product and tries to use it. (Trying to move my recording studio project from Windows to Linux.) That said, if I was to 'look at the Red Hat kernel source code' for the next year I wouldn't see anything. All I know is what I learn from lists like this one and from other people doing things like I am. Maybe we're all wrong. I'm sure we're all humorous to those who know more. If it was your intention to be demeaning to us user types, I am surprised. IT didn't seem like your style. To be clear, I am told that the patches for low-latency and the patches for preemption do not apply cleanly to the Redhat kernel. If this is not true, or if they have already been applied but none of us know it, please let me know. I'd be very interested in just being able to use the stock Redhat kernel without dealing with all this stuff myself. It's not my strength at all.
