The only two issues I know about is that you should avoid ext4 for now and you
might experience (I did) system freeze (on smp machines) with the RT-kernel.
If you get system freeze, then just add nosmp to your kernel parameter in
Grub's menu.lst and then you're ok.
I choosed to just install Kubuntu this time and then add the RT kernel. I have
also compiled almost every music related apps (from jackd with deps and
upwards) and libs from scratch. No problems so far. The reason of compiling is
that the libs IMO tends to shortly be to old when some new plugins and apps
arrive.
