Hello,
I maintain a gantry style CNC router for our high school robotics
team. Tonight our hard disk died. I need to decide what version to
install. From reading the list, it looks like 2.9 is close to release.
My preference would be to go with that. Any reason I should go with
2.8.2 instead?
First off, replace that spinning rust with an SSD, they are 5 to 6x
faster than spinning rust. A 240Gigger is around 45 bucks and its plenty
big enough. I have done that to all of my machines, one is even running
on a 4 yo 60 gigger. zero problems.
And yes, 2.9-pre is solid.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
Gene,
Thanks. I have a SSD that I'm going to repurpose for it. The computer is
old, from 2013, but still works fine. Its an Intel Atom D2550. I
installed 2.9 in a virtual machine awhile back just to play with it. I
can't remember, but I think I installed the Buster 2.8.2 image first,
and then installed 2.9 over that. Is that the recommended route?
Thanks,
Andy
