Sorry for posting late to this one, but I think a big "off putting" issue remains the hardware requirements for the real time kernel. Anybody wanting to just try it out always has doubts, based on reading the wiki on whether a computer they happen to have, or to purchase will run it ok and not easy to know in advance. Mach3 gives the impression it will run on any motherboard and it not clear to new users what advantage if anything the rt kernel gives for that uncertainty.
For the record, I've just completed the x y axis on a bca jig borer and have used linuxcnc since the beginning, but I have been through 3 computers and the latest is the best but still gives me the odd unexplained real time error.
