Guys, to everyone who claims Linux has realtime problems
but has never heard about sched_setscheduler et al,
I really recommend to read Bill Gallmeisters book 
"POSIX.4: Programming for the real world".

Before you're going to patch the linux kernel all over,
look at what you can do already with the primitives
available. I haven't read many suggestions for
added features on these lists that couldn't be done with the POSIX.4
features already present in the standard Linux kernel.

Tom
