Normaly the subscrivers of a list don't like presentations, specially

The best distribution for a newbe is probably the Red Hat, but RT-Linux
is "independent" of the distribution. You only need to install Linux,
then get the RT-Linux patch and the kernel sources for this patch (ie.
for RT-0.9H you need kernel 2.0.35). Install the kernel sources, apply
the RT patches and recompile the kernel.
