Hi !
I think LinuxCNC is better ... look like many others say..
Just when searching on the web if i put Linux and cnc
the result will be more top and first on Linuxcnc than EMC that's is a name
acronym ... which is use more and more now... try it on google
and see the result

Mach3 is relatively safe from attack.
If I have learned anything from my years working with lawyers and the law
system, it is that the law is applied in shades of gray. Very little is black

It should be obvious to anyone that PC software and razors are entirely
unrelated.
Apparently you use only high quality software.. for low quality software it is
advisable to keep all sharp and pointy objects (such as razors) away from a

FWIW, Mach3 is relatively safe from attack. Trademarks apply to a
particular domain only, and razor blades and software are quite different
domain. In addition, there must be reasonable reason to believe that the

unlikely that
