>From my experience - those people, who are unfamiliar with EMC, are unfamiliar with Linux. The fact that EMC is running on Ubuntu has helped to convince those people I have dealt with that it is worth trying it, because it is working out-of-box. Hobby users have time to spend on compiling the software and do other things. My customers can be considered as industrial users and they like the fact that no special linux knowledge is required to run EMC. A simple system can be set up within hours, completely restored on different PC hardware within 1 hour - just reinstall OS and copy config files. If additional installation of customized kinematics module or some realtime component is required, it adds just a few minutes to overall time. I would like to add my vote for Ubuntu + light GUI like LXDE.
