lots to say on closed source kernel modules.

My experience is that it does not. I'd be interested to see any
evidence that optimizing a system for multimedia (latency in the

He also has a lot to say about KDE vs. GNOME, but that doesn't
stop half of the top 10 mainline distros from making GNOME their
default desktop for whatever reason.

The core of vmware s a closed binary - the modules to connect this
binary to the the Linux-Kernel are open source with proprietary licence
(a bit like known from Steinbergs VST-SDK).
As i mentioned, that with my UBUNTU-Realtimekernel these modules built
OK i forgot something important:
As with the most kernels, that are not officially supported by VMWare
you need to apply a little script to the sources of your Kernel:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update98.tar.gz
refer to the Readme to find out more...
PLUS:
i test both the Desktopperformance and the audiocapabilities of the
UBUNTU-RT-Kernel daily and i am quite enthusiastic about and look
eagerly forward the official release of dapper drake.
In my experience audiooptimizations do not degrade the overall
performance at all and to have KDE, Open Office and TEX installed does
not bother audio (well - as long as you do not compile a KritaCVS while
mastering a 28-Track-ardoursession with jamin ;-))
