I agree with you.  Red Hat has the commercial Linux market at the 
moment and probably for a while...

RT kernels are not unique to Red Hat of course :-)

Description: Linux kernel image for version 2.6.22 on RT kernel 
 This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.6.22 on RT kernel. 

 Also includes the corresponding System.map file, the modules built by the 
 packager, and scripts that try to ensure that the system is not left in an 
 unbootable state after an update. 

 Supports Generic processors. 

 Ingo Molnar's full real time preemption patch (2.6.22.1-rt9) 

 You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the 
 linux-rt meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that 
 supporting packages are also installed.
