No, I'm using 2.6.7-gentoo-r5. Maybe I'll try the CCRMA kernel at some

configuration woes at this point, even if quasi-automated.
Well, here's some opinions on Gentoo for ya...

This one was hilarious! (And very true in some ways!) Actually, I'm a
Gentoo user on my laptop, but a CCRMA user on my older soft-synth box. I
like Gentoo alot, but not for the reasons most people give. It's not
faster in my experience. It doesn't have someone like Fernando
sheparding new apps and new users along. There's much confusion about
which kernel to use. (Did you do the CCRMA kernel Chris?) I do find that
raw code from the net builds more often on Gentoo than on Redhat, and
it's much easier to solve a dependency problem on Gentoo, but it's not
that Gentoo doesn't have dependeny problems. It does. If I'm the sinking ship at the end of this page
then so be it... ;-)
