Why is MRG Realtime based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and not Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4?
There are numerous realtime enablers in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 distribution, such as enhancements to the glibc runtime library, PAM library, etc. In short, the technical prerequisites for realtime could not be met in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 because the implementation is too old. Hence, there are no plans to provide a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 based realtime offering.
