Which Linux RTOS solution should I choose?

I'm preparing myself to build RTOS solution on top of Linux this going to work on embedded device. I've done some investigation by myself but still I'm a bit confused. Those are my criteria:

Easy to run on Samsung s3c2440 ARM9 machine
Open Source
Works together with Linux
Good community support

I've seen RTLinux and Xenomai. Xenomai looks more like thing for me, but still I'm confused.

Any good advice, pro's and cons?

The question is do you really need hard RTOS?

You may be able to get away with something like uClinux http://www.uclinux.org/

If you have decided on a processor, I suggest you find a development board or kit and use the recommended operating environment. Including development tools and OS.

Linux or real-time Linux may present a number of advantages over the "recommended" operating environment. E.g. community support, platform independence and hence greater flexibility (board vendors may be more likely to promote an environment that increases lock-in).
