I've read that 2.6.18 (or is it .22?) makes changes that enhance
real-time performance. When I get into this further, I'll have more
to say (or less, if for instance I find out it's all on behalf of
symmetric multi-processing, then who cares?)

This is a two-edged sword. People who are spared having to understand
Linux will have to understand Technologic's simplifications.
Nonetheless, my task right now is to come up with a "linuxrc-ourown"
that will let us combine the fast-booting mdt kernel and root tree
with our own software on the SD card. The released linuxrc- examples
are pretty clear and pretty transparent. With luck I'll have it
figured out today.
Cheers, Mel.
