You should be able to upgrade the linuxCNC version with no reason to run the risk of an OS upgrade. 2.7 is available back to Ubuntu10.04 "Lucid" and 2.8 back to 12.04 "Precise" or Debian 7 "Wheezy". http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MinimumSoftwareVersions The next version (2.9) will abandon almost all of the legacy OSs.
