Unfortunately this comes at a price:
During development it is way easier to lock your system when you use an rt
kernel. Because the amoc-running process with realtime-priority gets all the
processing time it wants, it can be _very_ hard to get the system to react to
keyboard/mouse or network-ssh to get it back under control...
Of course this isn't really an issue for the mere user.

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me

After a month or so log in as root and do a "rm -rf /". Or ask your 
administrator to do so...
