Comments on: Linux Music Workflow: Switching from Mac OS X to Ubuntu with Kim Cascone http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/2009/08/04/linux-music-workflow-switching-mac-os-ubuntu-kim-cascone/ Dave Jones' Linux & opensource stuff.

I'd love to see a Fedora spin geared towards multimedia creation. There has been talk of it in the past, but no-one seems to be taking the lead on it. #fedora-multimedia on freenode is just a wasteland of /join & /part messages. Over time bits of CCRMA have been getting into Fedora proper, but there's still a lot of work to be done there.

After reading through all of that I got to some thinking and did a quick search of things, since there is a demand for RT-kernels and I remember a repo that could provide that for Fedora. It would seem that I was right, <a href="http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/" rel="nofollow">Planet CCMA, is still providing RT kernels for the Fedora disto set (8-10. through the web page don't mention it, this does includes <a href="http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetcore/11/i386/repoview/" rel="nofollow">11</a>...) and CentOS 5. I was wondering if you suggested that to Kim? Another idea that spawns out of this is if a Respin of Fedora and CCMA could be made in the same vain as Omega for RPMfusion. It would be interesting to see if that could be done. Duv Well, that explains the “Red Hat developer” that he mentions in the comments.

I've heard rumours that Linus or others have dismissed the RT patchset from ever being properly merged, and that the focus for Linux was not for RT applications. I suspect/hope this is a misquote or simply untrue. I'm trying to start producing music (at all that is... having never done it before). Whilst I use Linux for absolutely everything, I haven't found using it for music work very easy at all. Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
