Novell today announced the availability of SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 10, "the only open source, enterprise-class real-time operating system available in the market today". Novell says: "Enhancements to SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 10 include the latest enterprise-hardened open source technologies that reduce system latency or delay and improve predictability, such as CPU shielding, priority inheritance, sleeping spinlocks, interrupt threads, high-resolution timers and the latest OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution for commodity high-speed interconnects, OFED 1.2.5. As a result, customers gain time advantage over competitors"

Red Hat already has a Real Time product which is about to be released in the early 2008:
... And Novell just released theirs. I thought using unreleased products to compete against actual released products was a Microsoft trademark?
Am I the only one who thinks that this sort of FUD against a "Real Time" product is funny?

is it 'Real Time' certified?
Real time to me usually implies critical.... did Novell just ship this as v. low latency or does it actually have some real backing other than the usual GPL disclaimers?
not a flame, kudos to Novell for getting it out first. You redhat guys dont want to start the mantra of 'but we have THIS coming out' that was a tactic Microsoft played and won for years. I'm not comparing MS to RH, just that its a rather bent road to follow down
