Linus Pooh-Pooh's Real-Time Patch

Posted by timothy on from the standoffish dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Speaking with CNet via email, Linus Torvalds appears to be in no hurry to accept the latest real-time patches from embedded specialist MontaVista into the mainstream kernel, at least not "at this time." Nontheless, MontaVista's new open-source real-time Linux project could broadly expand commercial opportunities for the open source OS, especially in telecom initially, where real-time Linux will likely play on "both ends of the wire." For example, Linux is already making progress in smartphones."

    The 'appears' hyperlink in the summary is pointing to the wrong link. I think the author intended this article instead.
