I guess air-walling really isn't necessary -- the key idea was to get it 
working and then don't break it by updating anything.


But if you're updating with developer releases bi-weekly, then the 
fallback idea would be to use and track whatever distribution the 
developers are using.  STFW I found http://linuxcnc.org/ , dug around 
briefly, and saw mention of Ubuntu, but not the level of detail needed 
to carry through this idea.  I also saw the Debian-live based release, 
so I dunno...
