Re: [LAU] Distribution Usage?

If you're thinking of a DIY distro for audio, I'd recommend taking a look at Gentoo or another source based distro that includes package managment. Or maybe a binary distro like Archlinux that makes installing source packages easy. The trouble with using LFS for any production environment is that when a new release of Ardour or Rosegarden comes out that depends on a new version of GTK or QT, which depends on a newer version of... well, you'll find yourself in proverbial "dependancy h3ll" soon enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of LFS and have considered doing this very thing (heavily optimized audio rig) with it, but unless you can be content with a "static" system without major upgrades (which may mean not being able to upgrade to some cool software in the future), it might not be worth the trouble. More on topic, what distros do folks recommend that include (or have reliable 3rd party repos like PlanetCCRMA that include) a stable, highly optimized rt-kernel?
