Well, I wanted to reshuffle around my various partitions and do a big 
data clean-up anyway. That meant reinstalling Linux no matter which 
flavor I chose.

I'm still in the middle of the Big Data Cleanup of 2008, but I do have 
Kubuntu working beautifully with the RT kernel and the backports 
repository. I'm still trying to figure out how to get Plasma and KDE 
theming to work, but that's a lower priority at the moment.

 From here on out, I'm compiling my music apps myself so I can keep up 
with the most current versions. Combining that with using the 
repositories for (most) libraries should allow me the 
cutting-but-not-too-cutting-edge system that I want.

I'll let you all know if my plan works.

Regards,
Darren Landrum
