Hi All,

I am working on wireless data application via MPC875 host USB, is there 
any difference to use Linux 2.6.x or Linux 2.4.x? Is it Linux 2.6 more 
like RTOS? Thanks.

Wei

Yes, absolutely.  Recent Linux 2.6 kernels (since 2.6.14 or so) have
much better RT performance if PREEMPT is enabled than any 2.4 kernel.
