RTLinux will track the kernel and we have been producing a new free
download validated patch every few months - I expect that will continue.
(FSM customers are getting customized kernels - we are actually supporting
about 5 Linux kernels right now which is a horrible pain).
Our current belief is that AC is more stable, however, there is a
reverse mm lookup component in test right now that will go into AC
soon as a fix for lurking MM problems and this might break it or fix
it - only Rik knows. Also we have no idea what
Alan and Linus will do to eventually merge trees. The diff between
AC and Linus is now 18MB (6MB per Torvalds child : speed up development
by offering to babysit).
One reason we like AC is that AC has been accepting architecture
specific patches while Linus is _way_ behind: 5MB diff between
Linus and the PPC tree for example.
2.2 is so nice. And I think it is not very clever to produce a system
that needs to be product quality and base it on the current unstable 2.4
line right now. 2.2 has a validated reliability history.
So my predictions (if you base business decisions on this you
are making a big mistake)
FSM RTLinux Open Patch for 2.4.12 or AC/Stable October 1.
