Re: [linux-audio-user] Newbie: Realtime kernel and THAC's rpms

Please note that Mandrake 9.2 will be released in a few weeks, and contains the latest and greatest multimedia kernel, alsa, ardour/audacity, jack stuff including new gui, sweep, terminatorX, hydrogen, amsynth, ecasound, tkeca, snd, fluidsynth, rosegarden4, noteedit, muse, swami, etc. etc. etc. Some of this stuff is on main CDs/ISOs, and some is installed automatically from online repositories using urpmi. Urpmi is your friend. I believe the Powerpack Edition will include almost all of the audio apps on CD or DVD though. I will also update the Audio Workstation HowTo to be accurate as of 9.2 when it is released. There's no need to switch distros if you're happy, but please be aware that we've been working very hard to try to keep multimedia support in Mandrake current and easy to install.
