Lubuntu alternative sessions script

[Federico Leoni]

It's easy to migrate from xp to Lubuntu for normal office use. Trust me.
For CNC, assuming you are talking about computer numerical control, I
understand your doubts.
Anyway many CNC controlled machine use a set of standard instructions. I
worked with different lasercut from Mazak and other kind of CNC machines
some years ago and the majority were based on G-Code language.

And if you like there are CNC solution based on Ubuntu

http://www.linuxcnc.org

Have a look on it.

If you are not talking about this kind of CNC... Well please explain a
little bit more deeply your problem.
