Lars brings up a good question, namely: which kernel base version to use - the 
rt-preempt-integration and xenomai-integration branches are underway

that needs to be decided, it would be unfair have developers out there dabbling 
with these ports and no path recommendation from this group.

my take is:
- for the reason Lars noted it would be better to use a 3.x base version
- for a similar reason (getting in the latest adeos patch) xenomai-integration 
better be used on more recent kernels than 2.6
- I have yet to discover a problem running a 3.x kernel with an Ubuntu 10.04 
userland environment in case anybody dies to have that combination - the 
lock-in to 10.04 came with the 2.6.* RTAI lock-in (or at least so I understand 
it)
- a newer kernel opens the option of moving beyond 10.04lts

from what I collected so far, Linux 3.2.21 seems the latest 3.x series 
supported by xenomai, which maps fine onto the Ubuntu LTS/kernel version list: 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html (precise LTS 
being the target platform)

for RT_PREEMPT I'm open to suggestions - please share; by default I'd go for 
the same base version as the xenomai kernel

RTAI: let's hope and pray for Paolo's health and time - any news on 3.x RTAI ?
