    John/Bernie, Not wanting to tread on anyone's toes here, but if you wanted to look at LinuxCNC, then you're more likely to want to meet the OS requirements for a modern installation, the Desktop version of Ubuntu 20 comes at:-

    (Source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...emRequirements)

    "Ubuntu Desktop Edition
    2 GHz dual core processor
    4 GiB RAM (system memory)
    25 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card or external drive but see LiveCD for an alternative approach)
    VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution
    Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media
    Internet access is helpful"

    LinuxCNC doesn't need much in the way of graphics support.

    Clive,
    What's the advantage of this over the generic clean instal of LinuxCNC itself?

    It is the same kernel as the Buster one. But uses Mint and has a bit of other stuff installed as well like wifi dongle .

    I just prefer it. I have tried both.
