IT-Director: Lynx Real Time Linux Reality

“Lynx expects to release BlueCat Linux by June of next year.
This version of Linux will be able to support embedded and hard
real time applications (as opposed to pseudo-real time
applications) and will be released as open source.

What is significant about this announcement is that Lynx is
already a vendor of a POSIX-compliant, real-time operating system
and so clearly has some experience to bring to the party.”

“Microsoft have already proved beyond doubt that the concept of
a one-size-fits-all operating system is fatally flawed. However
Linux has already proved itself as a capable, general-purpose
operating system. If Lynx can demonstrate its credentials in the
embedded market, this will further reinforce acceptance of open
source Linux in other areas.”
