[PlanetCCRMA] what's the best distro - RH9, FCn?

[Crispin]

Hi

I'm faced with the prospect of reinstalling everything as to replace a noisy
hard drive.  

So, what's currently considered to be the most stable platform?  RH9 and
kernel 2.4 currently works for me but I keep reading postings about latancy
and xruns with Fedora and more recent kernels.

I use an SBLive soundcard and work with muse, seq24, audacity, fluidsynth,
swami and spiralsynthmodular if that has any bearing on things.  And I tend
to need nvidia drivers.

Will RH9 continue to be supported on the planet for the forseeable future?

Cheers,
