Yes, I've followed it for 3-4 years although I never ran it. I ended |
| 14 |
up running PlanetCCRMA for about 2 1/2 years since I start with Redhat |
| 15 |
anyway. It works really well for the audio apps they provide, but when |
| 16 |
you decide you want access to other non-audio apps RPM distros get too |
| 17 |
difficult to manage. |

This is a painless way for Linux newbies to get lots of audio apps |
| 22 |
quickly. An FC3 install is about 45 minutes and the apps are loaded |
| 23 |
within an hour, including initial system updates. The Planet is really |
| 24 |
well supported out of Stanford and the guy who runs the whole thing |
| 25 |
(Fernando) is really great. However, in the end it's no where near as |
| 26 |
stable as Gentoo and I actually get really good latency from the |
| 27 |
standard Gentoo kernel so I'm quite happy here. |
