Yeah, and these "skewy" bits were the reason why in the days of parallel
bus connections all operations had to be acknowledged on separate wires
so it was made sure the bits had arrived correctly. This made
connections slow, but terribly reliable. The DEC computer series like
the VAXes were an

Why use this, why not use that? This is precis
I can say a word about my journey through Linux distributions and DEs.
The main reason why I came to Linux was LinuxCNC. I started from Ubuntu
10 x86 as such image was offered by LinuxCNC. And I made myself
comfortable with it including for casual tasks.
Later on I moved to Debian Wheezy x86 wit
Well Linux Mint with Mate is a much better behaved desktop. Having said
that and I think I tried Debian with Mate with poor results. I'll have
to dig through my pile of disks to see... maybe not, the only one I
tried is the net install which only offers gnome, kde, lxde and xfce.

i dont see why not , but the patch will be different probably , i'd need to

why use ubuntu ? , thats another can of worms to get in the way .
debian now has the 2 desktops that minit as
things are moving away from ubuntu ,for lots of reasons , some of it is a

Is it possible to build the Prempt-RT kernel on Linux Mint 13 based on
Ubuntu Precise or Linux Mint 17 based on Ubuntu Trusty? This is to be
able to use LinuxCNC uspace with a 7i92.
