Re: How do I know if I want Linux

Dan:

A million thanks for explaining it like you did. I will most certainly
keep yours, and everyone else's comments in close proximity on this one.
From what you said so far, it looks like I may run Linux and EMC on all
my machines.

Now, another question. Seeing as I am not the real proficient
type(yet..!!) at 'G' code programming for the type of operations I want
to do, I have found a (here I go again) Windows 'G' coding program that
will automatically do the code for me and nest the parts for me as well.
Can a file from this program be saved to disk or sent to a machine over
a network, if the code was done automatically by a Window's based
program and then run under Linux by EMC? I do know that the file(s) will
have to be read by EMC so then the native file format must be the same,
but can it be done.

Thanks again,
