I do not recall now, but it was some library I needed the -dev version of
so I could build something like freecad. The lib was there, but the -dev
was missing. I emailed twice, no reply. That was the "straw".

So was I, for a couple months. But Texstar runs a tight ship, and
will not add anything to the mix that isn't used by a web browser or
an email agent. Zero support, won't even discuss it, for anything
else.
So, while it was as solid as a rock, it was also very limiting and I
eventually bailed, in my case to the hybride-iso that installs
LinuxCNC, built around the debian wheezy release. It has some warts,
but nothing that cannot be whipped into shape. And I am pleased
because I can run exactly the same software on all 4 machines, except
the linuxcnc I run here is simulated only. This machine has
relatively poor "realtime performance", but its also dead stable doing
it.

LinuxCNC makes extended use of hal. It has its limits, but there's
gladevcp or pyvcp to fill those gaps.

Now thats scary, no chocolate? I'd druther not contemplate the
"merriment that could lead too. OTOH, no coffee is even worse.

I know that feeling, but its all ok as long as I can explain it to me.
