Hi y'all,
I want to install a realtime audio distro on my new Asus Eee 901.
I need a 2.6.29 realtime kernel or higher to support the hardware on my Eee.
I have got the 2G RAM (haven't swapped it in yet).
AFAIK, options include:
DebianEeePC http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC
ArchLinux http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_Eee_PC_901
Eeebuntu http://www.eeebuntu.org/
Indamixx USB stick, when it's available, (and it's not free)
I have been using Debian unstable for some years so I'm most familiar with that.
Any suggestions welcome, particularly regarding optimizing the kernel.
TIA
Norv
Hi,
I like Debian the best and have great results with realtime on my
eee-pc 901. You might like to enter my thread "Pianoteq on Linux
netbook" on http://www.forum-pianoteq.com, where I described a few
tunings I've made. Because I was too lazy to build my own RT-kernel, I
installed the kernel from AV-Linux (which seems to be a very good
distro btw):

I can play the physical modeled pianos with latencies of 2,9ms at 44,1
kHz for example.
