Well , to get a ubuntu packet, generally if you make a debian one youre pretty much done ....
I want to add my 2 cents also, it would be really nice to have a setup for the fabbing guys .... for repraps, mendels and such ... that they can run straight out of the box ...... I think that would get a bit of userbase, and there should be a tinkerer or two in there. So if we can keep the core simple, and add complexity as needed ? RIght now we have to dive into the middle of it .... to get off the ground. Compared to Mach3 and such , linuxcnc is a bit intimidating ...... / regards, Lars Segerlund. 2012/8/29 Kent A.
