I recently decided I wanted the rt kernel (on ubuntu) because I wanted 
to improve performance of 'recording' rosegarden+fluydSynth in Ardour.

I went the apt-get install way and I got a working 2.6.28-3-rt. The 
advantage was that I got the nvidia drivers working 'out of the box'. I 
had compiled a patched kernel but then X (nvidia?) was not working. Not 
sure if wifi is working as at the moment I'm using cabled network (that 
was also an issue with rt in the past)

Audio-wise it seems to work well (near to null xruns). I had to very 
ugly system freezes, one at boot one while working with audio stuff. But 
havn't tested extensively.

Kind regards,
Lorenzo.
