Hi @Job and @Moto, Linux is great, especially with its **fantastic** performance. I think the most suitable O.S for the task above (running traffic lights) is MINIX3 < http://choices.cs.uiuc.edu/cache/computer-cover.html >. Reliability is one of its primary design goals < http://www.minix3.org/other/reliability.html > and the mainline kernel is just written in 6,000 lines of ANSI C (some little Assembler + machine code is in there) NetBSD could also be a good fit. I have seen it has even been ported to a toaster < http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-netbsd-toaster.php > Martin. On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 11:32 AM, Job Muriuki <muriukin@gmail.com> wrote:
+1 for Linux As we change the number plate style we need to have plates linked with the original applicant of the registration. So when you sell your car you maintain the number plate and use it on another car you buy and the new owner gets their own new plate or use a number registered to them.

But considering the average uptime of the lights, I feel the cops are necessary. Every time the lights fail (all begin blinking red), it takes a few minutes for complete gridlock. Lets keep the boys waving until we can install Linux on the controllers [?]
