There will be a couple of minor config changes when going from 2.6 to 2.7: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/getting-started/index.html#_updating_your_config I think both 2.6 and 2.7 are reasonable candidates for a new machine build today. 2.6 has more runtime out in the community, so any bugs that are still lurking are presumably minor. But 2.7 has the new trajectory planner, which performs better and we'd love to get more runtime on it and get bug reports if you notice any problems. So it's really up to you which you prefer. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/common/Getting_LinuxCNC.html#_getting_linuxcnc http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/getting-started/index.html#_getting_linuxcnc -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
