You can download all of Linux from RedHat and other outfits. But, of course,
we're talking about 600 MB of stuff for the full install (one entire CD).
If you don't have a direct ethernet-speed connection, you WON'T want
to do this. The EMC source is all available as one file, it is pointed to
by the EMC software web page at NIST.
The real-time patch for Linux is also on the web. Some previous messages
have given the URL's.
