Re: Linux RT/EMC CD

I haven't tried the product, but Ron Wickersham previously posted the URL
for a Linux Distribution that is actually RedHat 5.2 with the real time
patch already installed. The website is http://www.zentropix.com/ . The cost
with a Full version of RedHat 5.2 (I am guessing this means the books and
all?) is only $45.00 and if you want just CD 1 (in RedHat that is all you
need to get it installed) it is $35.00

I talked with Fred Proctor about this product and he thought it might make
it easier for someone getting started, but had not tried it to verify that
it does work correctly.

I have no reason to purchase it as I have already gotten through the
patching the kernel barrier with the help of Matt and Jon, but if someone
wanted to pop for it I would be happy to load it on a spare system and see
if it will do what we need and then ship it back to the owner.
