Gordon.

wonderful info. thanks so much. your a prince mate.
if i ever get back to blighty i'll buy you a few pints lol.

i really like the idea of a low latency kernel obviously.

the way i figure it is if the baby os Menuet can do it …a small footprint AND a gui ....
why cant a linux distro ??. maybe its cos menuet is coded in asm rather than C/C++ ?
sometime check out the size of menuet ..its tiny size is brilliant for an os.

i was hoping for a linux distro under 2 gigs.

if you would bear with me…...when you load reaper linux version ..under the x at top right hand side what latency does reaps report in millisecs ?

i wonder if my audient audio interface would work in linux.
i love it for its v low latency and its not given me one prob ever in a years use.

i WAS gonna use the audient as a stop gap while i saved for a higher end interface like rme…or a uad but audients been soo blinkin' brilliant i might not bother..ive recorded sooo many audio traks with it flawlessly in reaps and no probs in biab…so i'm a fan.

also i read recently where a person…i think on gearspace preferred the audient mic pre's over rme…thus i'm in the proverbial quandary….lol. i just dont want to make a change and everything goes 'pear shaped'...lol.

best.
