went hunting for one that could see the 8Gb and use it, and could also
run the simulated LCNC I use to write gcode from a comfy chair. Found it
in 3.16.7-ckt25-2~bpo70+1 and pinned it again.
The other 3 machines have 2Gb or 4Gb of ram and have no such problems
running the 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 3.4.55-4linuxcnc
kernel. And despite the PAE above, it is not PAE. It runs from power
outage to power outage just fine.

Neither have I. Same with aptitude, I can't
remove it, IMSNHO its a
dangerous utility as it destroyed my system about 2 weeks ago,
requiring I re-install 236 packages. I haven't nuked the
executables yet, but I just did a chmod -x on the
/usr/bin/aptitude-curses. Now I sit back and see what complains.
# dpkg --purge aptitude aptitude-create-state-bundle aptitude-curses
aptitude-run-state-bundle aptitude-common aptitude-doc-en
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove aptitude which isn't

I must agree with Lisi, aptitude is not required package.
I'm on jessie.
I stopped using any kind of package manager other than apt-get and
dpkg.
