"LynuxWorks' BlueCat Linux 5.0, based on a 2.6-series Linux
kernel, is now available for public beta testing, with a projected
final release date set for November. LynuxWorks claims this to be
the first public availability of embedded Linux based on the new
kernel, and touts the system's improved realtime
responsiveness.
"Several dozen test releases are typical prior to the first
stable release of a new Linux kernel, which is currently available
as '2.6.0-test4.' The final release of BlueCat 5.0 may follow quite
closely after the first fully stable 2.6 release, projected for
October..."
