As long as you are using a RT kernel, sane pthreads support such as modern glibc and you know what you are doing (ksoftirqd priority and similar fun) the particular distribution does not matter much. We are using stock Debian with custom kernel as our embedded rt platform. It is the _application_ that has to be coded with several things in mind if it needs to be realtime. -- Stano -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
