    hi sam,
    i already saw the video which you posted as a link and after seeing it i have asked this question. but this video proves That linux EMC2 is capable of driving servos/steppers so y do people still use drivers. i am sure that most of them are aware of the capabilities of EMC2 to drive servos. but they still use drivers. WHY???.

    2) Think you need to be a programmer to understand/setup linuxcnc

    3) After trying linuxcnc for 5 minutes - decide it is too hard and stop.

    4) it isn't exactly like mach
