    Yeah...'cause this place kicks ASS on the technical details.  It's
the best kernel AND the best Alsa offering I've seen available, without
having to resort to untarring, recompiling and all that.  Besides- to do
all that, you need to *know* how to do that.

    The last time I looked and figured it up, they're about 4 months
ahead of the FreshRpms group, who are just now getting to a
semi-functional Alsa 0.9.4, but it still has problems.  PlanetCCRMA's
has been installed, loaded, and perfect for about 2 months now. No
worries, mate.

    Jump in and enjoy!
