It's the MachineKit branch, which is a snapshot of UBC3 that I have
verified actually works.  The branch doesn't get updated often
(generally, only when I'm making new images), so if you want to track
development, you should use UBC3, typically from Michael Haberler's
github repository.

Yes, but I'm not 100% sure how.  I'm a command-line guy, and the fact
that the GUI comes up at all on the BeagleBone is mostly a testament to
the Debian developers and the LinuxCNC crew.  :)

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't install vim by default and
curse the system every time I start with a new image, go to edit a file,
and find half the key commands I'm used to don't do the right thing!

I have mostly tried to make the pre-built image the minimal required to
actually get LinuxCNC running, but yes, a text editor would be a good
addition.  I'm open to suggestions for a light-weight editor, or I could
just confuse all the new users and install gvim!  :)
