Thanks; that's good advice. So is LinuxCNC stable under 12.04? If it is, it would make sense for me to upgrade Ubuntu. I really only use this computer for running LinuxCNC as it is built into a cabinet in the base of my mill.

They release only security updates when a bug is found out. To get a new version from apt repositories, you could try to activates the "backports" repository in Synaptic. But be careful with this, because it may upgrade automatically some application you do not want to upgrade. I suggest you activate backports, upgrade gedit, then desactivate backports again.
