Carlos, explanation is close enough, makes sense, as I've been reading up on this too. Marcus, yes, I now have to agree that for the regular, the default kernels are just fine. The rt stuff I can see as being more application specific as perhaps in the medical or aeronautics fields. Thank you both for your enlightening inputs!
