Err, as far as I know, eCOS and uClinux are not related at all.
RTEMS is actually pretty cool. At a previous company I worked at,
we used RTEMS for our product prototype (later, we switched to Solaris
and NetBSD). But RTEMS is really bare bones, and if you want networking
or file systems, you have to do them yourself. RTEMS is really pretty
much a thread scheduler, and nothing more.
