The Debian tools make it quite easy and manageable to build your own
kernel. Try that before switching :)

Hhh, switching distro seems harder than moving to another country sometimes... :o) I heard that some non-free stuff if missing from Fedora, does
CCRMA have
these? Like some proprietary codecs, etc...

yes, planet_ccrma is a repo for the Fedora/CentOS/RedHat family I like it

Hmm, hmm. That means switching to Fedora, right?

Planet CCRMA offers rt-kernel for x86_64 systems. Give it a try.

Hi There,
I'm sort of a veteran too (started on IBM AIX in 1992, used
Red Hat
for a long time, then went back to Windows 98, later XP, which i
gave up
finally a few years ago). I'm using vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with Gnome (and 2GB of
memory),
and my impression is that it's not the WM that makes things slow,
but in the
case of Pd, it's Pd itself. Read the archives on GUI<->core
communication
and Tcl/Tk weirdnesses. The 64-bit version of Pd is quite tidy
now, well
actually there was a time when it seemed to me a bit slower
than the
32-bit version, but AFAIK there's no reason for that any more (?) With a decent CPU and that huge amount of RAM you (will)
have, it
really cannot be a question of WM whatsoever. Of course, the system
has to
be tuned for realtime, undisturbed audio usage, which may include
getting rid
of eye-candy functions, but i never experienced a problem with
those.
After all, they use openGL, don't they? The same stands for pure:dyne; at the core it's a linux
kernel, and
what you install on (or remove from) the top, it's up to you. The only thing i'm missing here on 64-bit is the RT kernel.
Once i
find a nice quick way, i'll grab it, but i'm not really into home-
brewing my
kernel. :)
