    Wouldn’t it be possible to make a Linux kernel for real time applications? That would obviously be very stripped down, but you’re not going to run Crysis on your avionics computer anyway.

      The problem with modern distributions is that nobody ever has to deal with their own kernel anymore and nobody learns how to trim one down and build it.
