Can FreeBSD be used as hard or soft RTOS? I know there are some kernel real-time extensions but that's all I know and somehow can't find more informations.
Can FreeBSD provide some guarantee that scheduler will switch to certain process under the maximum certain time after it becomes ready, etc....?
Anyway, where I can find more about the FreeBSD kernel and multitasking? I'm going to buy IGEPv2 or similar ~1 GHz AMR computer and want to do some time-critical IO operations and communication along with heavy-load such as video compressing.
I'd really like to avoid using Linux (RTAI) because of its creepy license, so I'm looking for other *nix learning & development platform.
