[PlanetCCRMA] Reliable version of Fedora using rt-kernel?

[mark]

Hello,

as far as i know the Kernel 2.6.39.4 is already RT patched. I have tried 
to compile Kernel 3 with patch at debian 6 but it didn`t  run better. 
The latency was worse than without the patch. Anyway don`t forget to 
input those two lines for jackd into the limits.conf and add your user 
to the desired group.

i would suggest to use either Kernel 2.6.39.4 or just Ubuntu Studio 
11.04 (not 11.10!!!).

regards

Mark
