When you use the planet all of these things are included. The kernel is
patched, ALSA is there, all of the apps just download and work. You
*do* need to make sure you get the kernel source but it's there as
well. As I said before, the only apps that I build from scratch are
JACK, Ardour, and JAMin. The only reason I build JAMin from scratch is
because I work on the code. Otherwise, I'd just download it from the
planet as well. Having built everything from scratch before I can tell
you that the planet not only is easier but that it does things the right
way.

Guys,
Many thanks for the time and effort spent on giving advice, it's much
appreciated.
Basically, you guys have recommended:
-Mandrake + Thac's RPMs (Robert)
-DeMuDi (Tim and Stefano)
-Planet CCRMA (Jan)
..Which basically boils down to: Mandrake vs Debian vs Redhat. Not sure if
it's a wise decision, but I'm then thinking about choosing the distro based
on:
-Is ALSA supported on the distro or did you have to download and install
ALSA separately?
-Did you find the kernel easy to patch for low latency? (I assume all
Thac's, DeMuDi and Planet have some patch set for this).
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Yours,
Alex
PS: starting a new thread soon to briefly explain what note tuning and audio
quantizing is for the ones who are interested, glad to contribute somehow
:-)
