I am considering working on converting my 1 HP Bridgeport mill http://igor.chudov.com/projects/My-Bridgeport-Mill/
to CNC control. I have been a Linux user since early 1995 and try to avoid Windows for obvious reasons, so here I am in this mailing list. I have a couple of questions. 1. What are the minimum hardware requirements for this software. For example, would a 128 MB, 266 MHz computer be sufficient? 2. Can I somehow use EMC2 with regular Fedora Core linux, are the realtime extensions very difficcult to get for Fedora? The reason for this is that all my house runs Fedora linux on at least 4 computers. 3. I also have a laptop that runs Fedora 7 and does not have a parallel port. Is there some contraption like a USB to parallel adaptor, that would let me run EMC2 on my laptop. Thanks!!!!!!!!!! i ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
