I suspect it is that commercial entities like to have a support contract in place, and almost nobody offers that for LinuxCNC. So it's a problem with the infrastructure, not the product. (And, speaking only for myself, as someone who takes on some of the support burden of the existing userbase of LinuxCNC, I am not sure that I want to see LinuxCNC Take Over The World. Certainly not without a lot more commercial support in place) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
