Ubuntu is a snapshot of Debian's testing repository (with perhaps a few tweaks 
& bug fixes). Certainly, you can install the BDI4 kernel & RTAI packages 
without any problems...

 I've not tried installing the EMC packages on either Ubuntu or 
Debian(testing) so can't really comment. In principle, they should work. If 
you want to try it and report back, I can try to offer solutions to any 
problems that may occur.

One of the things on the ToDo list is to evaluate Debian(testing) as they 
freeze and migrate to Stable - I already have a hard disk loaded, but a h/w 
failure is preventing further work.
