Pick up a copy of "Linux for Embedded and Real-time
Applications" by Doug Abbott. It was, to me, a great
hands-on book on getting a real-time Linux system up.

It is a relatively short book, which is nice if you
are in any time crunch.

good luck,
Bob Smith

The other great Linux / robotics book is "Open-Source
Robotics and Process Control Cookbook" by Lewin A R W
Edwards. It uses AVRs for all the real-time stuff and
Linux for communications and "intelligence".

My stereoscopic vision, two wheeled robot will use the
approach (and some of the circuits) in this book. His
description of stepper and PWM motor controllers is
worth the price of the book alone.
