In fact, I have a same question. I also want to know what's the most obvious difference between Mvista and the common kernel. In detail, is there any different mechanism for Montavista to make sure a better performance, like Ethernet? In my project, it generates a different ethernet performance for my general kernel from Montavista 4.01. I want to make sure if Montavista have something special to guarantee a higher performance. Another question. Because Montavista kernel is also based on the open source linux kernel from the general tree, does this mean that the Montavista one is also open source and could be free to be distributed according to GPL. However as far as I know, that's not true. :) BR Ming _________________________________________________________________ 享用世界上最大的电子邮件系统— MSN Hotmail。 http://www.hotmail.com
