Hi Chris, Not sure where you are coming from on that. With the exception of access to RPi hardware the look and feel of the user interface is a Pi. In fact even the Sense Hat Emulator software is available for users to develop sense hat code in python on the laptop and then later download it to the embedded pi with sense hat. I've already downloaded the Lazarus Free Pascal for it. To me it looks like a Pi. Just can't access Pi hardware of course. As the attached screen shot shows, it's unlikely you'd know whether this was the Pi or the MacBook. (answer: it's the Macbook). And as my previous posting shows, it's running a fairly current version of Linux. Since on my RPi4 LinuxCNC just shows up as a desktop ICON and a list of programs on the drop down menu to install etc. I was wondering how to get LinuxCNC onto an 'existing Linux system'. As Andy says it won't be the 2.9 package since this isn't bookworm. But is it possible to install LinuxCNC onto an existing linux system? John
