Gentoo real-time kernels are in the pro-audio overlay. Not sure how up
to date they are. I think I'm running something like
rt-sources-2.6.29-something as the vanilla 2.6.30 kernel.org kernel
didn't seem to like my chipset. Go figure....
Anyway, they are there, and...small rant... ;-) ;-)
Why in the heck does *anyone* complain about not finding rt-kernels?
The source is publicly available and it's very straight forward to
build kernel source once you get in the swing. There isn't any magic
to building the rt-kernel and truly it's no more difficult than
building the vanilla kernel if folks have done that.
end of small rant... ;-) ;-)
Cheers all,

I'm
thinking of trying Gentoo on it, it's supposed to be very very
configurable and optimizable. The synth/effects laptop doesn't have a
lot of memory and only a 2.8GHz Celeron. (Of course, someone on the list
is using an EEEPC 1000 for the same purposes, so maybe the hardware
shouldn't matter!)
AVLinux is my current platform; Sabayon is also very good (very polished
and reliable), and it is Gentoo-based. Haven't found a realtime kernel
for Sabayon or Gentoo yet.
