What is installed on 4 of the 6 boxes here, is a wheezy install thats been tweaked to A: put a realtime kernel on it so it can run linuxcnc on real hardware. The stretch I'll install here after my new drive cage arrives, and I found today that newegg's fedex is a week for delivery, its not expected to arrive here before Thursday evening, has also been tweaked to run LinuxCNC, probably by a real time kernel replacement.. Thanks David, gotta run the mussus just called on the intercom. Later. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
