Thanks for your answer Charles. However what I would like to find out is how is machinekit different from say Debian. Not so much in difference between distro's( because I'm thinking it's "just" a kernel with *some* tools ), or determinism, but how does one use it to their full advantage. So for all I know, one would use it like you'd use Linux in general. My guess would be this is not the case however. Also, knowing some guidelines while developing deterministic code would be very handy too. So basically, stuff that an experienced developer should know when using machinekit, but doesn't from lack of experience *with* machinekit. Which libc is expected . . . etc. Does that make any sense ? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place so far ?
