I think that it really depends on your needs. I'm very happy right now |
| 15 |
with the very latest testing kernel from the developers. Basically |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
2.6.14-rc3 + rt7 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
However many others might not be. It was hard to find a configuration |
| 20 |
that compiled. Once I did the side effects so far have been very |
| 21 |
minimal. Then again my application is essentially recording studio |
| 22 |
oriented. I need very low real time latencies. This kernel is giving |
| 23 |
me that, but there are costs, such as no ATI driver support, etc. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So, I think it really depends on your needs. |

As for ck-sources, it builds for me and it does run, but so farit |
| 28 |
doesn't seem to play with the Jack server and Jack apps very well. I |
| 29 |
expect it's me and not ck-sources, but I don't know. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
So, my desktop usage is probably very different from yours and we end |
| 32 |
up making different choices. |
| 33 |

My 2 cents, |
