Hi everyone,
after many years of studio work using the openSuse distro with the
kernel-rt from Jan Engelhard it seems that he no longer continues his great
work on rt kernels.
Being more on the recording engineer side of things and not a Linux expert
(user yes, expert no) I really fret at the thought of patching and
compiling my own kernel package.
I would like to hear your opinions on what distro is solid for audio work
and has a reliable rt kernel.
Also I would appreciate if you could explain the degree of difficulty and
learning curve of the specific distro.
My system:
Intel i7 950
Gigabyte motherboard
6 Gb ram
Rme HDSP 9652 audio interface
Appreciate your answers.
Moshe
P.S. I tried to use Ubuntu on the same machine I use openSuse 11.2 on and
got pretty bad results regarding latency and x runs on jack 2.

Hi Moshe.
Given that I'm involved in the team, I would say give a try to Musix [1].
We're now working on version 3 beta, so you may want to try Musix 2
downloading the live CD or the USB version (this way you can have a look
without installing anything on your computer) until v3 is published.
I have to tell you that Musix v3 it's going to be a great jump forward
compared to v2.
Musix always put an eye on non experienced users, and it's of course RT an
all those great things that linux distros have (actually Musix is based on
Debian)
To add some more choice to those great responses here in this thread, a
would mention KXstudio[2]. I liked it when I tested some time ago, nice and
well finished.
