viewer and a fairly powerful web browser shifting from one role to
the other as needed."

LWN.net: "There are far too many interesting

basis of the presentations can give an even more detailed look. The
papers from the recently concluded Real Time Linux Workshop are a
good example; this article will briefly look at a few of them."
