This likely depends to the usage, assumed linux-rtai for CNC or linux-rt for audio is needed, people need Linux. AFAIK FreeBSD doesn't provide real-time abilities. JFTR applications written on and for FreeBSD seemingly are used on Linux too, there at least is one audio app, IIRC it's a MIDI sequencer. I have forgotten it's name. Regards, Ralf PS - less thinking about this thread, but more about another thread on this list, anyway, not OT: I'm not aware about fronts between FreeBSD and Linux users. When eating a soup a spoon is a good tool, when eating a cake, a cake fork is a good tool. Are there fronts between spoon and cake fork users?
