Why not Debian? (real-time proto with linux!)
My supervisor walked into my qube and started asking questions about the computer in my office running linux. He asked which version of Linux it was running (debian? whats that?) Seems that there is some interest here in trying to use linux at least in a prototype here because NT is to fragging big and CE is still not good enough. Of course he would like to use RedHat or Caldera (cause they offer support?). I said that they offer support in INSTALLING the os but not for developing applications under it (not without additional contract anyway?). Are there any URL's out there with good articles praising Debian? I'd like some amo here to influence a decision on what distro we might try to use. (If I have to chose a commerical linux I guess RedHat is better than caldera?). Also, since we REALLY need the real-time kernel, does anyone know if any .deb's of this are available?

Re: Why not Debian? (real-time proto with linux!)
I never seen a deb package of the real-time kernel, but it very easy to recompile a kernel under debian, so the process must be the same with RT-Linux, just apply the patch and recompile the kernel. If you are looking for commercial RT-Linux, I have seen at LinuxWorld a company that sells a distribution with RT-Linux enabled. The distribution is based on RedHat. They offer support and tools for developing real-time applications. I can't remember the name of the company now, but if your interested I can check. Florian.
