Gentlemen,
Just how do you 'market' a free item/product? The free LinuxCNC software
is not even a loss leader. The whole thing is free - all the time - even

I grabbed the LinuxCNC 2.5 iso last night and tried it via a LiveUSB
stick out this morning.
Looks very clean. My thanks again.
However, there's glitches in several sim sample configurations that I
think have actually been around for several releases.

When the dust settles over some of the recent, long threads on subjects
