[linux-audio-user] Optimal SuSE 9.3 audio setup

For anyone that has a solid audio setup on SuSE 9.3 professional... please let me know if there's any nessesary steps to take to get things running properly. In prior versions of SuSE they ran 2.4 kernels, and everything ran great right out of the box. I haven't gotten to the point were I can try recording yet, but I thought I would get the scoop from anyone that has an optimal running audio setup. Please point me to any docs if there is any patching or recompiling to do because I'm inexperienced on both points. I would assume the two main things is making sure everything is set up for low latency recording and being able to run programs "realtime". Did I miss anything? Do I still need to make programs suid root to be able to run realtime? Right now I've created Redhat 9 boot disks and will be installing Planet CCRMA. But I'd rather go with SuSE if it's possible to get audio set up for optimum use. It's just that Redhat 9 has been discontinued, and I get the impression Redhat isn't as "complete" as SuSE anyways (the install disk couldn't even reconize my monitor). I'm trying to have *one* setup that is (both) my "general" computer setup (and) my digital audio workstation at the same time. And since SuSE is such a "complete" distrob, I'd prefer to go with it. But if it's just too much to get audio set up for optimum audio use, then I may have to do a duel boot situation with SuSE/Planet. Thanks, Rocco
