Hi, for what it's worth, I'm running CentOS 5 with the planet-core, planet-ccrma and novell-mono repos which exist for centos/rhel5 these days. The planet-core repo contains the 2.6.24.7 with realtime patches and other goodness for audio/video stuffs. I've been using this setup for about 6 months now and i'm very happy with the stability + speed this offers. Greets, Rubin.
