I believe with what I've read on this mailing list, and the RTwiki site that Linux is definitely up to the task with these kernel patches. However, I am not really sure which distribution of Linux we should use as the base, nor am I sure if it would be better to stick with the 'i386' distribution or go with the x86_64 variant. I am considering Fedora 10, either i386 or x86_64. Does anyone have any comments or recommendations for which might be better to use, or if we would be better off using another distribution? Thanks! - Al Dorrington
