[PlanetCCRMA] Planet CCRMA on Fedora 9: first steps

[Hector Centeno]

Thanks Edgar,

I know about UbuntuStudio and have tried it, but definitively for me
is not an alternative to Fedora-CCRMA. It's not well configured, there
are lots of packages missing or outdated (which is kind of starting to
happen with CCRMA after some of the packages moved to the main Fedora
repos) and RT audio doesn't run as smooth as in CCRMA.

Cheers,

Hector
