[wplug] Redhat 9 Depressing as a first impression

[David Gerard Matthews]

You might want to try the kernel at www-ccrma.stanford.edu.  I've been 
using it on an RH8 box (should also work on 9m judging by posts to the 
Planet CCRMA list.)  It's got the low-latency and pre-emption patches 
compiled and seems to be pretty fast and stable.
By way of a little explanation, Planet CCRMA is a series of packages 
for RH 7-8 put together by the Stanford Center for Computing Research 
in Music  and Acoustics.  They've got Debian's famed apt-get working on 
Red Hat, so it's a great way to grab packages even if you don't care 
about the multimedia focus of the projects.
