Lonnie,
You don't really need to build the low-latency kernel to run Ardour but
you do need to upgrade a number of things that may effect your system to
build it. I'm thinking specifically of the autoconf/automake/gettext
stuff although there are probably a few others
(
http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html covers the
rest). Planet CCRMA
(
http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/) will give you a
pretty good rundown on not only Ardour but a bunch of other packages as
well.

able to just familiarize myself with the tools and technology.
So, is it possible, and if so, what are options to give jackd for things
like sample rate and such, that would work for a user in a
non-low-latency environment that would allow me to run some of the
plug-ins, ardour, and other jack enabled tools... kind of "test drive"
if you will... without causing a system crash.
Obviously, I wouldn't attempt to do any serious stuff until updating the
kernel and all the other stuff.
Thanks.
