I'm referencing a couple of threads here, specifically the discussion
about -rt kernels I had recently, but FYI - I emailed one of the big
guys (have no idea who he is) with the Ubuntu project and told him
that they REALLY need an official kernel for realtime work.  This,
along with the other problems with fluxbox menus and such, keeps
Ubuntu from being *the* thing for audio work.

struck me as really funny.  I, of course, have never had this happen
to me :)
