It depends on what do you mean by "normal system of yours". As for myself I use Fedora Core 9 with RT enabled kernel as my system at work and didn't notice any differences between normal and RT-enabled kernel while I surf the web, listen to music and do other things not related to my RT work. But if there will be any difference you notice, you can always restart you system and load normal kernel;) I'm talking about CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT patch, not sure about other real-time solutions - haven't played with them, sorry. > rday > -- > > ======================================================================== > Robert P.
