Nope, that is what the presenter repeated over and over again. If you look at the literature on the NI web site it says
"embedded Linux with real-time extensions". Recent changes to the Linux kernel to make it scale better (in SMP environments) and to handle streaming I/O better (play video and audio) put Linux (straight from kernel.org) firmly in the soft real-time category. I'm not sure if the distro on the RoboRio will include an alternate scheduler or just have all the real-time stuff turned on and/or use embedded versions of user space libraries and utilities. It will be interesting to see what we get.
