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....
The lack is if in future it become runing on other OS... like Androïd... we could name LAMWB-CNC ( Linux Android Mac Win Beos CNC ).... To clone the naming convention look like Lamp , Wamp ( linux,apache,mysql,php ; windows apache mysql php....) So for starting just linux give LCNC and if add Androïd support become LACNC ...... And after the name will becoming Universe-CNC... or UnivesalCNC.... ??? Or Multiver-CNC or MultosCNC Or Futur-CNC... or Infinite-CNC So Nice futur...to LinuxCNC... or ULinuxCNC for Universal Linux CNC... Have a nice day...
