Hi you all,<br><br>I can't understand that:<br><br>"[...] So, why hassle around and make a realtime kernel available in the repositories if Debian can work on making other security and stability related issues better?"<br>
<br>what's the relationship between (realtime) and (security or stability)? <br>If you plan to use a realtime kernel surely you do not want to boot it on a production server (my belief). <br>To me applying an RT patch implies you want to stress your box to achieve extremely low latency paying a certain price in terms of "stability" for other non-audio appz.<br>
<br><br>Platforms: <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/</a><br>these are the offical Ingo Molnar RT patches, never saw platform related ones and never read about they will ever be<br>
<br>Hardware: RT patches add features to the kernel and without touching the rest of the code, so an RT kernel supports the same hardware of a generic one.<br><br>Disadvantages: compile an unbootable or nonworking kernel is a little bit simpler :-) <br>

... Some rumors say<br>

[quote]The realtime preemption patches are not only unstable, they are<br>
available for far less platforms. So, why hassle around and make a<br>

<br>
Is a realtime kernel less stable?<br>
<br>
Are they available for far less platforms?<br>
<br>
Do do support the same hardware as the normal kernels does?<br>
<br>
Any other disadvantages?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
