    Sorry, yes I meant Planet CCRMA. I was wondering when I could go to 
the CCRMA website and download the modified iso's of FC2 (with apt as 
the default package manager) and the modified kernel. Wish I could say 
that I was doing some important audio work, but I mainly use Planet 
CCRMA's version of Fedora and the modified kernel for gaming, as 
benchmarks show better results than with other distro's and kernels on 
similar equipment.
