 Beast is a soft realtime application which needs elevated CPU
 scheduling priorities. It installs a small suid wrapper which
 acquires nice level -20 and then immediately drops privileges.
-For linux kernels of the 2.6.x series, this enables the low-latency
-scheduling behavior needed to avoid audio drop outs, this kernel
-series is therefore recommended for operating Beast.
