Can you clarify what "unsuitable" mean, please ?  Does that mean it is 
impossible
to build RTEMS-4.11 tools and source on Debian or Ubutun 10.04 ? Does
RTEMS-4.11 require a higher version of  Ubutu ? I know that it
is impossible to build RTEMS-4-9 on RHEL4 due to S/W incompatibility. 
Ralf posted
the technical reason a long while ago.  Please note that I am not 
talking about
"support".

Regards,
Kate
