Compiling an rt kernel is not brain surgery. Having a pre compiled rt
kernel option is a useful addition to the suite of tools. If we had a
dedicated list of proven hardware setups with kernel versions, links to
the various precompiled rt kernels for each distro and basic build steps
that would also assist people who are taking the plunge.

Also can you send me the link to the debian rt kernel project please?
And if anyone else knows of specific links to other rt kernel projects
repos please send them through.
Sorry, am catching up rather late, but one thing about this discussion
has left me wondering:
does a realtime kernel have to be distribution-specific ?
I mean:
a) Could there be an attempt to patch and compile a
distribution-agnostic realtime kernel ? (Is there one already ?)
b) Or is it that every distribution expects its kernel to include some
home-made kernel modifications, and hence requires patching their own
specific brand from source ?
Cheers.
