Yes, I've followed it for 3-4 years although I never ran it. I ended up running PlanetCCRMA for about 2 1/2 years since I start with Redhat anyway. It works really well for the audio apps they provide, but when you decide you want access to other non-audio apps RPM distros get too difficult to manage. http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ This is a painless way for Linux newbies to get lots of audio apps quickly. An FC3 install is about 45 minutes and the apps are loaded within an hour, including initial system updates. The Planet is really well supported out of Stanford and the guy who runs the whole thing (Fernando) is really great. However, in the end it's no where near as stable as Gentoo and I actually get really good latency from the standard Gentoo kernel so I'm quite happy here. - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
