Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
after many years of studio work using the openSuse distro with the<br>
kernel-rt from Jan Engelhard it seems that he no longer continues his great<br>
work on rt kernels.<br>

This made me somewhat puzzeled too until I tried the kernel desktop for Suse to find out, that it delivers real good.<br>
<br>
I have virtually the same results on the same machine. The only difference is, that the desktop-kernel is not the same as solid if Jack is set for very low latency (such as: lower than 5ms). For the reall-world day to day work with big Ardour-projects, I cannot find any difference regarding xruns.<div class="im">

Being more on the recording engineer side of things and not a Linux expert<br>
(user yes, expert no) I really fret at the thought of patching and<br>
compiling my own kernel package.<br>
<br>
I would like to hear your opinions on what distro is solid for audio work<br>
and has a reliable rt kernel.<br>
Also I would appreciate if you could explain the degree of difficulty and<br>
learning curve of the specific distro.<br>
<br>
My system:<br>
Intel i7 950<br>
Gigabyte motherboard<br>
6 Gb ram<br>
Rme HDSP 9652 audio interface<br>
<br>
Appreciate your answers.<br>
<br>

<br>
P.S. I tried to use Ubuntu on the same machine I use openSuse 11.2 on and<br>
got pretty bad results regarding latency and x runs on jack 2.<br>

Ubuntu works OK for me here but is indeed not as solid and powerful as Suses desktop-kernel. At the other hand I tend to use it anyway. There are more xruns but not too many (about 2-3/h under serious load), it is quite stable and forgiving(not a single case of jackd crashed or frozen) and the best: it is the most comfortable distro I ever had. Listening to youtube-videos or using any sound-source imaginable while Ardour is up and running whithout even the need to think about how this happens is kind of nice methinks ;-)<div>
