i agree chkconfig --list i think shows you whats up
i turned off a ton of stuff after i got going and my Sony Vaio PCG GRX 560 1.6 GHz, 512, ATI Radeon 7500 works nice with ALSA and midiman 2x2 and if i fool it it will sometimes load my emi 2|6 as a usb audio device instead of the midiman
cheers

Planet CCRMA's Fedora Core1 is working just fine here for me on a bit of an older machine (Athlon 1Ghz, 384mbs of ram, Geforce 3, midiman 4/10). I use PD with both alsa and jack. I seem to get much better performance with jack (little or no drop outs, unless I make FVWM do something funky). I think the trick with any of the bigger desktop targeted distros is to really turn off as many of the startup deamons you can. Don't need to print? Turn it off. No need NFS? Turn it off!
This take a bit more time and patience (and to be honest I havn't been able to get to all of the one I would like to and I still get good performance out of my machine). Its really all about tweaking your system to work for your set up.

Hi
i feel like the sole defender of redhat these days but 7.3 works like a dream for me turning of "Nautilus" on my laptop got me even more speed
pd with ALSA, midiin, GEM all work i tend towards GEM G4 now because it seems more closely related to the work i want to be doing
But redhat 9.0 might be rubbsh but 7.3 is not. It really just matters what you want to do. Anything after 7.3 seems to try to be the M$ of linux but i have always felt that if you get a good linu/unix book that works for what you need one must avoid the lure of teh upgrade for a while.
