The beginning of the realtime preemption debate

Parent article: The beginning of the realtime preemption debate

I really think RTAI (or the L4 stuff) are a better alternative, or at
least they can provide a way to provide "real" realtime together with
linux. What's actually the current state of RTAI with kernel 2.6 ? Which
architectures are supported ?

Oh no! Don't start that discussion here as well! It is really long and heated on lkml already! I will dear to add that I disagree, but I will refer to lkml for the arguments.

Some day, someone will hopefully post a comparison between PREEMPT_RT and RTAI, wrt. how well it works wrt. latencies and performance, and how much work you need to put in to actually use it on _real_ projects.
