[linux-audio-user] Newbie: Realtime kernel and THAC's rpms

[Austin]

Please note that Mandrake 9.2 will be released in a few weeks, and contains  
the latest and greatest multimedia kernel, alsa, ardour/audacity, jack stuff  
including new gui, sweep, terminatorX, hydrogen, amsynth, ecasound, tkeca,  
snd, fluidsynth, rosegarden4, noteedit, muse, swami, etc. etc. etc.

Some of this stuff is on main CDs/ISOs, and some is installed automatically  
from online repositories using urpmi.  Urpmi is your friend.  I believe the  
Powerpack Edition will include almost all of the audio apps on CD or DVD  
though.

I will also update the Audio Workstation HowTo to be accurate as of 9.2 when  
it is released.

There's no need to switch distros if you're happy, but please be aware that  
we've been working very hard to try to keep multimedia support in Mandrake  
current and easy to install.
