Thanks to everyone who replied. Sounds like if I'm willing to accept slow performance, it's just a matter of trying to load LCNC and see if it will run on a particular box. Some of the older ones mentioned are in the range of the ones I have, so there is some hope.
Thanks again. Raymond Julian Kettle River, MN The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second. -John Steinbeck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1902-1968) On 05/18/2014 03:20 AM, andy pugh wrote: > On 18 May 2014 01:14, rayj <raymo...@frontiernet.net> wrote: >> What's everyone's experience running LCNC on older computers. > > My lathe has been running on an old Xeon (Coppermine) 1U server for > the last few years, I word fine, currently on Ubuntu 8,04 and a recent > build of LinuxCNC.
