Without starting a flame war ... would either FSMLabs or Lineo like to
comment on this?

The new RTL v3 CD-ROM is priced at $150. The Lineo ISG Embedix Real-Time
CD-ROM was, as I recall, priced at the same level. However, the Lineo
web-page online store now asks for $495!

I'm not knocking either product but I cringe when I go into CompUSA and
see a Red Hat deluxe collectors edition for > $80. Frankly, under such
circumstances, I'm embarrased to tell people that Linux (real-time or
not) is free (and, yes, I *know* free means freedom not price but still).

Can anyone tell me how they arrived at those figures?
