Hello,
I am looking for a RT kernel and was wondering whether OpenSuse proves a RT kernel stack?
I am curious what the advantage of the -rt kernel is. I seem to recall when it was first available, the general reaction was that it might help in some usage scenarios - but in most uses it would not really improve over the standard kernel. Is this still the consensus? Or has the -rt kernel progresses in recent times?
my understanding is that it's needed for certain applications, like real-time audio recording / editing, that don't function well if they get only a slice of the kernel's attention, but that for general purpose it's not as good as desktop or default (server) flavors. can't remember where i picked up this info and would be interested to get my understanding corrected or confirmed... -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
