A big +1. Clive introduced me to Linux CNC and even as a newbie user, I can tell you it's great - the only thing that may have the unlikely potential to frustrate you is that the current distribution is built on 10.4. Not sure about when a new release is due.

I've been using LinuxCNC for a couple of years and haven't had any issues with it. Might change to Mach3 for my new machine, but that's because I'm thinking of using an Ethernet motion controller, and I might also use twin X motors. LinuxCNC does not support either of these things. I doubt that you will need the higher pulse rates or twin X motors for a milling machine so it's a good option.
