Is there any coherent article to go with the slides ? I note that apart from one page commenting on RTOS's in general, the focus on the suitability of Linux is about auditing of code and not about realtime guarantees, or lack thereof, offered by standard Linux. I recommend that Ada advocates with high blood pressure not read page 21 of the PDF, especially the last line. :-) Simon. -- Simon Clubley, clubley@remove_me.eisner.decus.org-Earth.UFP Microsoft: The Standard Oil Company of the 21st century
