I have been following this thread and finally decided to pitch the CAD/CAM solution that I have been using since 2008 after I converted my first mill to EMC2. It is Synergy by Weber Systems. http://www.webersys.com/. It has been around longer than Windows and DOS with Unix roots. It has native code for linux as well as MSwindows. You can download a full featured 30 day trial for Ubuntu and Debian plus a variety of others. In my case I prefer a different version of linux and they downloaded and compiled a version for me on my machine, so I didn't have to match one of the pre-compiled versions. For basic use they have a free version. I wanted to use a full featured version for anything I dreamed up so I payed, one time for the full system. When I have questions I talk directly to the people who developed the software, they have taught me more about CNC programing than anybody else. I have looked at some of the others but not really tried any since I have been happy with this solution.
