Unless you have some means of getting QNX at a big discount
(educational, large volume, whatever) be prepared to spend fairly
serious money to get niceties like X, compilers, etc. I looked at QNX
for a project about 4 years ago that would have required a single
development suite plus licenses for about 100 sites/year that needed to
be able to use X and have some of QNX's nice embedded features and the
pricing as I recall was around $800/CPU. Since QNX was a bit of
overkill, we didn't select it but probably would have if the price had
been more like $200/CPU. Remember, this was just a run time license,
the development tools were quite a bit more.
