I haven't used Stepconf, so I can't offer any advise on it. Making configuration changes manually is not that hard and keeping different file versions is a little more transparent. The text editor can be found on your desktop at Applications -> Accessories -> Text Editor. The configuration files are under your home directory, /home/user_name/emc2/configs ... I just remembered, there is a getting started guide here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/EMC2_Getting_Started.pdf There is a Stepconfig section and toward the end are some pointers on using Linux. The general documentation page is here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/content/view/5/5/lang,english/ If you need real time help there is an IRC chat channel on #emc irc.freenode.net, some info here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/content/view/4/8/lang,en/ You can try the Java client link, but I don't recall if Java is installed by default. There is also Pidgin Internet Messenger in the Applications -> Internet menu. I don't recall if this is in the default install either. I have used http://www.mibbit.com/ which runs in the cloud, so no installation is needed (Oops I can't seem to get it to work right now). If you have done IRC chat before, then you should not have too much trouble. This should give you some leads to follow.
