My default Fedora 10 install packages plus ccrma repos and meta package/kernel for low latency audio workstation with windows vsti's. With this setup I can run an alesis trigger io and trigger samples in XLN Audio Addictive Drums without having to run windows, plus I get SUPER low latency with low cost sound cards (even onboard is below 3ms), currently running a turtle beach riviera on an old Pentium 4 and getting 1.6ms

# meta package for all major ccrma apps, this is a LARGE compilation and will take a while to download on a slow connection! (in my case 259mb with dependencies)
sudo yum -y install planetccrma-apps
# low latency kernel, first step is to allow Fedora to keep more kernels which can be done by changing the 'installonly_limit=3' line to 'installonly_limit=0', then running the following command
sudo yum -y install planetccrma-core
