I think i have been interpreted in those customers that are new to
Linux and sometimes ask trivial questions.
We do not care too much about the kernel version, we want our life
simplified.
We do prefer TS invest their time in finding a nice tool support
like eclipse.
The big hole in my opinion in TS solutions is NOT to provide a good
debugging tool support. We invest so much in getting something to
work that at the end does not support 'thread' debugging support.
We do today everything using eclipse with some basic debugging
support. I miss so much my Visual Studio IDE for embedding systems
(using x86 architecture).
Don't get me wrong, this new Linux experience has been exciting. We
have port many of our big projects with excelent results.
