You can, just not with parts of the current electronics setup. By the looks 
from the JD2 website, they use the all-in-one BLDC servos with STEP/DIR inputs. 
That should be easy enough to interface to MACH3. I have no idea about what 
they use for THC.

You can use pretty much whatever you want with Machinekit and LinuxCNC both. It 
may just not be a turn-key solution. However, it still should not be that 
problematic to use Ubuntu. (I have never tried it.)

Maybe, Beaglebone Black is popular hardware SBC for use with Machinekit. 
Problem is, without detailed photos only people deeply familiar with JD2 
offerings would be able to tell.

I don't know any of them. Just what I read on the project pages.

Sure, Machinekit does not suit everybody. There are plenty to choose from. Just 
don't be offended if people on Machinekit forum are not inclined to bashing 
Machinekit.
