Arch provides packages for linux-rt and linux-rt-lts (long term
support) by a repository, http://archaudio.org/ and if you prefer to
compile it yourself, by the so called AUR too.

Debian and Ubuntu provide kernel build tools to easily build linux-rt
packages yourself. Ubuntu provides a so called lowlatency kernel by the
official repositories. Rui's rtirq script is available by Arch Linux
(AUR) and by Debian/Ubuntu packages, the rtirq versions provided by
Debian/Ubuntu not always fit to the provided kernels, rtirq status
will show. A default kernel could be booted with the 'threadirqs'
option, then even a default kernel is real-time capable, but it's still
best practise to use linux-rt.

Building a kernel based on default configs takes around 90 minutes
with an AMD Athlon dual-core 2.1 GHz, 4 GB RAM.
