RTEMS supports the single process with filesystem POSIX profile on over a dozen processor architectures. To just be entering young adulthood, RTEMS has had a busy life. It has been a Google Summer of Code project twice (Thanks Google!). It has been to Venus on the Venus Express, circles Mars on the Electra radio, powers Herschel and Planck, is on its way to the asteroid belt aboard DAWN, and has been a key part of physics discoveries at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.

joelsherrill writes: The long awaited Thunderbird 3.0 is out. It has many new features and improvements according to the release notes. Personally I have been reasonably happy with the pre-release versions provided with Fedora 11 and 12 except that it periodically uses 100% of the CPU and I have to kill it. I wonder if Fedora issue 493000 is fixed.
