Hallo,
I have a question regardings freebsd realtime extensions,
Is freebsd capable as an realtime os and where does it stand compared to linux?
after the ### is my message that is sent to the xwax mailing list.
I'm trying to figure out that i can use freebsd for dj-ing with timecode vinyl.
This is possible anyhow with xwax (xwax.co.uk) but the big question is.
some people achiev a latency <3ms on (debian)linux with an realtime kernel. but i dont want to abandon my beloved FBSD....
On the same hardware can FreeBSD perform the same or better than linux in
terms of latency?
Or simply is FreeBSD not capable as as realtime OS?
Thank for your time.
Gr T

I heard hardware specs are not so inportent as one would think.
But anyway the machine in question is a DAW to produce music with an is an I64
2 Quad core P45 mainboard 4GB DDR3 and 64GB SSD for the OS and 2x 2TB Sata
300.
I really prefere freebsd over linux because of several reasons, well
documented, lightning fast, rock solid and the most imported fact that i use
it every day so things are ease to achieve. Linux is very nice indeed but for
me it are several years ago that i used it. (sorry for my bad english
I know a lot of hardware is not supported on fbsd as well so most people wil
run linux anyhow. lucky me my Maudio pci card is supported.
So my question will be:
On the same hardware can FreeBSD perform the same or better than linux in
terms of latency?
Or simply is FreeBSD capable as as realtime OS
Is there anybody who tried a linux distro and a fbsd install on the same
hardware?
I also will post this message on de freebsd forum as well and maybe the more
technical people (instead of me) will have a clue.
