Normaly the subscrivers of a list don't like presentations, specially
when they are long :)

> Now, we are going to start a new project, also requiring RTOS, and I've thought of Linux because I'm really interested on it. But, there is a problem, a little one; I have no experience at all on it, therefore I'm sure I will need your help quite a lot. Will you help me?

The best distribution for a newbe is probably the Red Hat, but RT-Linux
is "independent" of the distribution. You only need to install Linux,
then get the RT-Linux patch and the kernel sources for this patch (ie.
for RT-0.9H you need kernel 2.0.35). Install the kernel sources, apply
the RT patches and recompile the kernel.

You can see the Linux lab project http://www.llp.fu-berlin.de/

If you need more information, you can send me a message (in spanish :) )
