XP is all I currently require as it's the only installable licenses I have. |

This does raise another question as to whether the Linux kernel - |
| 20 |
either gentoo-sources or rt-sources I use from the pro-audio overlay - |
| 21 |
needs or benefits from turning on or off kernel features? And when you |
| 22 |
update kernels is there anything that needs to be done to get these |
| 23 |
working again or are they all more or less just a program running from |
| 24 |
the host kernel's point of view? |
| 25 |
|

Googling around for info on the relative performance of these (they |
| 27 |
seem to be comparable) I also ran into another one called ProxMox of |
| 28 |
all things. Not going to explore it for now. |
