I am starting a new project involving multiple PC boards, image processing,
and servo controllers. The processors will communicate via Eithernet or
CAN. Which embedded linux distribution offers the best development
toolkits? I have been looking at the MontaVista package. If I want the
best quality (solid, good toolkits and docs, driver support) Linux OS for a
critical application, which would I choose?

Thanks
