Just a quick technicality correction Scott, Lucid 10.04 ships with the
2.6.32 kernel, not the 2.6.35.  The facts you state are true of the 2.6.32
(no RT patch, etc...).

It should also be noted that the audio portion of Ubuntu Studio 10.04
includes the new PREEMPT kernel flavour of 2.6.32 which I've found to be
suitable for audio work.
