linux

I have been using Redhat products since RH-5, and presently I'm on Fedora Core 6. However, I'm ready for a divorce from Redhat, as I cannot stand their update schedule. Bringing out a new version every 6 months is just ridiculous, and what is worse, anything more then two versions old gets deprecated....hence, no more updates.

I would like to have something that has at least a few years of updates/download support, and I would also prefer to stay with somthing RPM based, as I am most familiar with that. I generally convert all my compiled sources into RPMs at some point.

Well, it's hard to say why I'm writting this here… Maybe due the great warm feeling inside. The arising Opensuse 10.3 (still beta now) contains realtime kernel in base repository again:

What a good news! Of course I can use kernel-rt from jacklab.org in 10.2, but it breaks o lot of dependencies I have in system e.g. nvidia drivers etc. And now there could be latency under 1ms out of the box. And no xruns.
