> Can I assume your voting for Linux? Within the context of RT I don't understand what "voting for Linux" is supposed to mean. RT doesn't care about what kernel is running. It only cares about the supporting software, which itself is also independent of the kernel. Based on my experience, I

I am running RT 3.8.2 on Slackware 12.0. I originally installed 3.6. and upgraded to 3.8.0 and then 3.8.2. The original install was perfectly clean; no mess, no fuss. Upgrades were equally simple, once I figured to actually do all of the upgrade and not just part of it. -- -- =

John, We are currently running 3.6.4, but DESPERATELY want to upgrade to 3.8.2. Hence the desire to get this new zone set up right FIRST, before trying to upgrade. We are an Oracle house, so that's not on the table. So far, I'm leaning toward Linux, but I haven't heard from Jesse or Rusla

To all (especially Jesse and Ruslan), I have been given the opportunity to have a new development zone created for RT. I was asked if I wanted the new zone to be Linux or Solaris based. So, all you gurus out there, what's best? I know that most of this stuff was designed for Solaris, but i
