anyone using mandrake 10.0 for audio stuff? i have an RME digipad96/8
pad. use sound with alsa+jack, installed ardour, rosegarden, several

was wondering about the kernel. can i use the 2.6 kernel or should i use
the special compiled multimedia 2.4 kernel (for mandrake, via contrib
sources). and i have trouble as well to play with jack without being
root, but i guess i need to do some more tweaking and experimenting there.

I like suse 9.2 myself, but I install for free
over ftp, and then grab
all
of the development libraries so its easy to recompile from source when I
need to.
The other distro I like is demudi, but suse 9.2 comes with the 2.6
kernel,
so my usb stuff works better than with the 2.4 kernel, and I don't
have to
recompile my kernel to have decent latency performance.
