Ok... well as said. I'm also going to gentoo'ify my SuSE rt-kernel
howto. You can use all info you want from there.

agreed. i thought of it instead of the proaudio wiki. but nevermind.
So currently the wiki-version of your howto can be seen as a
suggestions page :)
quint essence so far:
* make use of /etc/portage/package.use - just global useflags to
make.conf. If it once happens that you need support with your base
system, you'll first get blamed if your make.conf contains 500 so
called local useflags, even worse such experimental ones like jackmidi
which you won't find in official portage yet. emerge --info never
lies :P
* libcap is deprecated, so is kernel 2.4
* as said already: emerge rt-sources, and tell how to configure them.
* pam RLIMITS configuration.. basically that's just using the pam from
the overlay and edit /etc/security/limits.conf
* maybe a note that it's no bad idea to use a lightweight WM in favor
of a ressources buster like KDE or GNOME
* some native linux synths.. not only VST :) (om, qsynth, bristol etc)
