Places to go and things to do ...
Most likely you'll need the Linux kernel at some point. The best place to look and find your nearest mirror for download is kernel.org. Or perhaps even better, kernelnotes.org.
Whats's GNU and what's an Open Source development model? Why should we use Realtime Linux and not a well-known commersial RTOS? And the license, what's that all about?
Questions like that are always best referred back to the source of origin. If you're curious and/or interested take a look at these:
- GNU is Not UNIX
- GNU GPL License
- Open Source definition
- Why Linux?
- realtimelinux.org - Portal for Real-Time Linux
How about support, and where can I get this stuff and try it out?
- rtlinux.org - The original RTLinux site
- fsmlabs.com - The commercial deployment of RTLinux as can also be seen at
- rtlinux.com - Commercial Support for RTLinux
- Zentropics Inc. - Complete Development environment based on RTAI, [Downloads]
- KURT - Kansas University Real-Time Linux
- ART - Youichi Ishiwata's Real-Time extensions to Linux
- RTAI - Real-Time Application Interface.
- RED Linux Project
