one thing about this discussion that has just stuck me - is that part of
the comparison between windows and linux is this case is unfair. For
example:
Question: Under which OS is it easier to get a low latency kernel for
use with audio applcations?
Answer: Er....... Well WindowsXP of course - all you do is double click on
the 'low latency kernel' icon in control panel.
Ok - In general i admit that although some linux dists are becoming a
breeze to use on the desktop via KDE/Gnome etc , you probably still have
to do a bit of fiddling to get a good audio setup. It would be good to
remember that some of that fiddling is due to the extra freedom that
linux gives you.

well that sounds like a good idea to me. ( although personally i'd stick with building my own ;) )
