Currently have a Sherline CNC machine using BDI-EMC v4.51 version. So far, the representatives of the jewelry making programs I've come across tell me that their Windows programs would not run on the Linux-emc base that the Sherline uses.
That doesn't make me very happy that Linux is being shortchanged here
Say it isn't so!
AS much as I'd dislike using the Windows software with the Sherline
Is there any way this newby can use their Windows based software with the BDI-EMC version I have and have it perform satisfactorily??
Thought about installing Windows XP
as only OS on computer. Also possibly a dual boot OS??
Don't have all that much knowledge of Linux and all its perimeters but any assistance the forum can give would be very much appreciated!
Thank you all very much and best wishes for a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving.
