About the NT4, NT5 and NT5.1 or about using NT as a solution? I heard about the robotic use by the person that uses this version for his purposes.. From my understanding of what he said about his usage. He uses RH for the base and uses the realtime kernel in addition, for the robotics About the 2.5 kernel being a lot better with speed and such, I'd like to see it included and integrated within the distribution. I don't see any conflict with releasing an odd numbered distribution with an odd numbered kernel version. The whole backporting features seem to be like trying to satisfy all of the depedecies needed for certain programs to work. If a crucial system factor was not listed in the dependacies, figuring out the needed libs or base programs would be very hard to accomplish. Thanks for your insight into embedded devices and linux and the overkill to use the realtime kernel for gaming purposes. With the fully updating to rawhide acts that I've heard from this list. Thetre might be a lot of trials for using the realtime version for gaming, without your insight into the issue. Forgive me for the idea. I just like for things to work. I don't play many computer games. I'm more interested in multimedia and general computer tasks.
