If you&#39;re thinking of a DIY distro for audio, I&#39;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.<br>
<br>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&#39;ll find yourself in proverbial &quot;dependancy h3ll&quot; soon enough.<br>
<br>Don&#39;t get me wrong, I&#39;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 &quot;static&quot; 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. <br>
<br>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?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 13, 2010 at 6:14 PM, Harry Van Haaren <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:harryhaaren@gmail.com">harryhaaren@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
