the best RT kernel I have used is the good
ol' 64studio version cooked by Free.
I can run my entire studio environment with Indamixx opening apps such
as ardour and hydrogen while streaming audio via IDJC over the net on
battery with wifi and editing in audacity... no xruns no dropout in
streaming audio while screen brightness/dims all at the same time.
Likewise I can run idjc with skype and pidgin while doing my audio
edits and production/multitracking in ardour or audacity with no
problems.
800mhz I gig of RAM > rock solid and pocket sized.
We worked 14months on this build to get it right for those guys out
there who don't want to brew their own. Lastly, we tried RT stuff
from handy heron, ubuntu studio and others and they are not the type
of RT that we offer. I felt great when the off the shelf and home
brew stuff fell way short of a true pro audio low latency experience.
Thank you

I'm not at all clear what this previous command does. the normal set
of build instructions at this point is very simple
make && make modules_install
Even if that isn't the 'Debian' way, is it possible to build and
install a kernel as the kernel designers intended it or does that not
work on Debian?
Maybe there's another Debian user here who can help you. I'm Gentoo
based and it's pretty straight forward here.

Where can I find the 64studio kernel and headers?
