Server versions, which the linuxcnc distribution version is based on, are 5 years, and I am still getting regular security fixes ever 2-3 days. The linuxcnc crew is furiously working on a new kernel that _will_ run linuxcnc, but its not quite ready for prime time yet. The RTAI patchkit has fallen way behind, and it may be that we'll have to use the xenomai patchset which in tests so far, has not quite met the needs. We need hard realtime performance, with emphasis on a steady heartbeat in the 20 microsecond range with jitter in that heartbeat not more than 2 or 3 microseconds. The stock kernel simply cannot meet the latency requirements of running high speed stepper motors. I am running a much newer kernel on this machine as it isn't actually running machinery.
