Very robust distro and solid support

The most important thing when you want to integrate a Linux distro in a commercial product is the support. We found Windriver support to be incredibly good. We were able to get on a call with the support and got our questions answered immediately which really helped cut down on development and increased the stability of the final product. Windriver is very stable and has got some better performance over other distros of Linux that are commercially available. I'm also glad that they embraced the open source software a long time ago. VxWorks also is a great RTOS that is very stable and has great support.
