10.04 does have a real-time kernel in the repos, 2.6.31-rt. But the

2.6.33 real-time kernel from Tango Studio is superior. At least, I

didn't have a lot of success with the real-time kernel from the Ubuntu

repos while the one from Tango Studios is still going strong.

Later versions of Ubuntu do not have a real-time kernel available

anymore, only via PPA's. But indeed, with the whole IRQ threading thing

being merged in the mainline kernel you could ask yourself, do I really

need a real-time kernel. In my case I dare to say yes, haven't done any

A-B testing with a low-latency kernel but I get the feeling that I can

get the most out of a real-time kernel. That's why I'm thinking about

switching to Arch but unfortunately the 3.0 real-time kernel is not

stable enough (it crashes on any plug-in that uses the Juce framework,

need to file a bugreport).
Best,
Jeremy
