I purchased 2 cd's with EMC on it as well as morphix , one is the BDI live disc and the other the install disc, and am having trouble getting the bdi live CD to run , I have an E machines sytem with XP on it ready to install this software , but if I cant get the BDI to run , I am not sure I want to wipe out XP to install . And I have some questions about which Linux platform /release/version is most stable and runs EMC most succesfully . I am TOTALLY inexperienced with linux and only know what I read and am reading as time allows.I have a Fine Sodick VMC that was made for machining electrodes that was effectively lobotomized when it was disposed of , my inteent is to interface the existing servo drives to a new brain , my own version of Fankenstein I suppose . EMC appears to be the route least expensive but I am in need of some advice . Perhaps some of you could share which platforms you have been succesful with ,no-no's and so on that you have found .
Thanks
