Zero support, won't even discuss it, for anything else. So, while it was as solid as a rock, it was also very limiting and I eventually bailed, in my case to the hybride-iso that installs LinuxCNC, built around the debian wheezy release. It has some warts, but nothing that cannot be whipped into shape. And I am pleased because I can run exactly the same software on all 4 machines, except the linuxcnc I run here is simulated only. This machine has relatively poor "realtime performance", but its also dead stable doing it. > > There are some things I don't know if I care for, such as HAL, but > > so far it hasn't bothered me or refused to open the pod bay doors.
