In responce to Karsten Wade,
I think Karsten has made some very good points. Why don't we go ahead and make a 'remix' and we can start collaborating and getting it up to a distributable .iso. We want this to be something that we would install as opposed to installing the basic Fedora distro and then patching the kernel. If we don't wanna use it, then chances are that others will feel the same way. I also agree with a wiki article for Fedora musicians/podcasters. We do need the support of ambassadors and people who represent Fedora at conferences. Unless there is some fundamental disagreements, maybe we should go forward with a CCRMA kernel remix. Feedback please.
