<font size="+1">Hi - I've been setting up an old Thinkpad R51 as
Protolab's small CNC controller. I've been trying to use Debian 8,
but it seems not to like the Radeon 250M in the machine at *all*.
I'm stuck with "an error occurred / click here to log out", and no
sshd to access the machine remotely.<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest a light(ish) graphical distro that's user
focussed and will allow fairly recent packaged apps like Cura and
LinuxCNC to run? I realise that this Thinkpad is slower than a
Raspberry Pi 3 (I benchmarked it) but it does have a parallel port
that we can use with the ZenBot CNC.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Stewart<br>
