Has anyone tried QNX RTOS?
It propably has the best packge system existing...

"There is a great application called the "Package Manager". It allows to
install in a very efficient way a new software; be it a new driver or any
Qnx software. I checked if I could compile any C program entering a "cc"
command in a terminal and Qnx said: /bin/sh: cc: not found

Ok no problem, so I used the Package Manager to install it from the CD (if
you don't have it, you can download/install it from the Qnx site). I have
chosen the C compiler, then I hit the "Install" button and the CDROM led
went green and immediately switched off again. I thought something went
wrong but I tried to enter the "cc" command again and ... the C compiler was
there waiting a C source to compile ! No "make" command to use, no
configuration file to edit, no install script to run and it was there,
installed, ready for use. Incredible ! "
