I don't think that's true.

The NIST designed if for POSIX systems.

Linuxcnc isn't "designed for debian" originally the ISO were built for Ubuntu, 
I think that _originally_ EMC targeted Windows NT...

But FreeBSD was originally supported, according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxCNC




 


Once again you have a more in depth, I can't think of the word.......I don't think I'm well and may not have long left before I'm not much good to anyone.
Th point I was trying to make is that building & running Linuxcnc is achievable on, I'll say most< Linux platforms. Even Puppy Linux had an ISO for Linuxcnc.

Could you provide the literature that confirms your claim.

Even if it is the RT implementations for WIndows NT & Linux are going to be different beasts, as would the RT for BSD. 

Even then Linux (most distros) NetBSD & OpenBSD are not certified as POSIX compliant yet comply in large part. Windows I think there was an effort with NT4 or Windows 2k, from memory a "POSIX Pack" was available. 
After looking through a number of documents I could not find posix mentioned. But if you have access to any plesae link.

Yes, there were two versions:
-CoolCNC ISO at i think 50MB in total size
-Debian Dog at something like 350MB in total size
It is getting increasingly hard to find those, so archiving them for when we grow old might be a good idea, although might not need them, ever! :)

hmm I can't remember if I kept all my Puppy versions, I used to help Barry a little bit from time to time getting wireless going in the very early days. Geesh even used to build my own custom ones. Some for booting a workstation from a server. And yes I was just as grumpy and the same old asshole back then.
