And are there any free Real time Operating systems ( Linux Based ) is

Please provide some information regarding this issue.

I have read that the kernel is interrupt driven rather than schedule driven. If that is what you mean, all linuxes are real time.

Thats not generally enough for many peoples definitions, which is that the time to respond to an (external) interrupt is fast, un blockable, and well defined.


If you think of how many ways to stop your 'lunix' responding to a keyboard interrupt exist, you will get my drift.

Most RTOSes are very lightweight and very carefully controlled in terms of response time to interrupts.
