Thats a bit odd, this is an R14.0.6 install, but its not in either office 
or graphics sections of the menu. Xpdf is there, but its yet to do a 
print job anywhere near complete or correct. Reinstalled it, still can't 
be found. Does run by cli. But whats all this?

I loaded up a 750 page linuxcnc documentation pdf, and while its all 
there, it doesn't quite have the pretty print pizzazz that evince or 
okular gives.

I am about to install stretch on this machine, from an image the LCNC 
folks are testing, so hopefully wheezy will have reached the end of its 
use here in the next couple weeks.  And this time its a 64 bit install, 
something I've been avoiding because of the much larger IRQ latencies of 
a 64 bit install. But they've been fine tuning the preempt-rt kernel 
builds and now have it good enough (pretty steady 50 u-sec lag) the 
smarter interface cards can handle the remaining timeing wobblies. Their 
default windowing system is xfce4, quite capable these days but I'll 
likely do tde on it too just to get my old friend kmail.

You might think 50 u-secs is quick, but I have 2 machines here that can 
respond to a scheduled IRQ with a worst case wobble in the 4 to 6 u-sec 
range. Intel Atoms of course.  Amd lost that fight years ago.
