Hullo, > Dear Sys admins,
Not everyone on this list is a sysadmin! :) > What is Real Time Linux?? According to one of the most reliable sources around, RT Systems are those whose correctness includes its response time as well as its functional correctness. The above basically means that apart from the correct working of the system itself, how fast you get a response also matters a lot. In this regard, such systems get classified into Hard and Soft Real time systems. google for more info! >How it is different from > Mandrake,Fedora and RH etc. The distros mentioned above are user level distros - they are used on desktop applications, server management, development, blah - but essentially, by a human being sitting on a computer. RT Systems are deployed on satellites, missiles and such - that is where the term 'embedded' comes in as well. These systems have to gather data, and act on it in a very fast loop, in order to ensure the safety of the device they're on, or any other factors which may be in play. A really cool article I read in LinuxJournal on Linux and satellites : http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7767 > >From where i can download it??? How the term > embedded > is related with it?? Search for VxWorks, RTLinux, FreeRTOS, LynuxWorks etc. Cheers, Viksit -- Viksit Gaur me[at]viksit[dot]com viksit[at]linux-delhi[dot]org http://viksit.com Just because you have a mind like a hammer doesn't mean you should treat everyone else like a nail - Terry Pratchett __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
