Unfortunately it's not that simple, for some simple timer based data collection RTLinux is a nice solution, but as soon as you want something more advanced, e.g. realtime audio editing, you have problems, as this usually requires a good IO system. Also if you want to go the desktop with linux, there is still some work to do in the so called 'multimedia' area. You can of course always upgrade your computer to improve such things, but then you can also install this other 'os'.
bye, Roman
