For the record:

POSEIDON CONTROLS does not get paid by LINEO to post the obvious. I find it
frustrating that someone attack the technical merit of the work done by the
RTAI dev team with oneliners without prior "due diligence" analysis.

To clarify my previous email, I will add that the overwhelming reason for
choosing RTAI is that a development team has been put together over the course
of the last year. Time will prove the superiority of team work over "ex
cathedra"
lecturing.

Best Regards,
