I'm well aware of that Andy, but TBH, this list may be the deepest pool 
of knowledgeable people on the planet, most of my machines are running 
debian. Those that are running buster have been stuck as the switch to 
python 3 with bullseye broke linuxcnc.  Thats now been fixed and has 
been for a while but I've had my own projects that took priority.  There 
will not be any spinning rust here when I do update to bookworm or trixie.

There is also an overtone of NIH here. These programs are tools and one 
does his (or her) best thinking well outside the box at times.

They never have, they just use it. And I've used up my patience in 
explaining that and being mostly ignored.

That list of machines is long Andy, and possibly boring.

1. The 2nd machine I converted, affectionately known as tlm.coyote.den, 
( The Little Monster ), a 7x12 lathe running buster with a real time 
kernel and linuxcnc, all uptdate. uname -a=
Linux TLM 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running on an off-lease Dell Optiplex computer.

2. A 4 axis mill sold by grizzly as the G0704 running on another 
off-lease Dell, named go704, using an uptodate buster, uname -a=
Linux GO704 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2 
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
also using linuxcnc.

3. Another 4 axis gantry style mill sold as the 6040, also running 
buster with a rt kernel and linuxcnc on another off-lease Dell. uname -a=
Linux sixty40 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2 
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

4. Another lathe, a bigger Sheldon from the mid WW-II time, running on a 
raspberry pi 4b, bookworm, uname -a=
Linux rpi4.coyote.den 6.1.54-rt15 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Wed Sep 20 20:36:44 
AEST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
and linuxcnc=LinuxCNC/AXIS version 2.10.0~pre0

All of the above linuxcnc versions are the current master from the 
linuxcnc.org's buildbot, updated several times a week as I play the 
canary in a coal mine part looking for showstopper bugs. #4 above was 
the first on the planet to run linuxcnc on a pi.  I did it just to see 
if I could.  The whole shebang w/o the lathe power, draws 20 watts 
including the monitor, those Dell's are power pigs at 300 watts counting 
the monitors.

#5, and currently offline being rebuilt, is a 3d printer, a creality 
Ender 5 Plus, already has a bananapi-m5 running an arm64 armbian jammy, 
a BTT octopus  controller. Stepper/servo's on x&y. is already running 
the klipper suite of tools.

#6, a tronxy-400 3d printer with similar state and configuration except 
it a corexy design.

#7, a two trees Sapphire 5, after the 3rd controller died, is slowly 
being rebuilt with the same BTT card and klipper, and is a corexy design.

#8 is this problem child, unknown controller, some sort of a rockchip 
board running armbian 64 buster and klippers suite of tools. uname -a=
Linux mkspi 5.16.20-rockchip64 #trunk SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 25 01:58:45 
UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux. A corexy design.

There will probably be more of #8, its doing a great job. Faster by x4 
than any of the others did stock. If I don't miss roll call first. 
Still have about 5 or 6 years left in the pacemakers battery.

Like I said, boring.

Take care and stay well Andy.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
