Robert, Can you perhaps explain the difference between MachineKit and Linux from the RTOS perspective?
I recall something like the Machinekit has the RTOS underneath LinuxCNC where Linux itself is just a task and the RTOS therefore allows the embedded stuff to run at the same or higher priority giving better real time support. LinuxCNC has a modified kernel that puts the CNC part at a higher priority within the Linux RTOS environment. Have I got that right? I remember reading somewhere there were actually 3 different versions of 'real time' for Linux. Just don't remember where I read that.
