Can the last 7-8 posts please go into a new thread about Mesa bus switches or similar. It going a bit off track for a list of SBC's compatible with LCNC.

Done.
Please do check if everything is OK.

This seems to be the ultimate all in one for LinuxCNC, granted it needs a slimmed down version of Linux and shoehorning the RT kernel somehow.
Still at 12$ with one ARM and one RISC core, optional wifi6, 100Mbps ethernet, USB C, 8051 MCU running at 25 to 300MHz, MIPI connector, VPU, NPU at 0.5 TOPS, CSI, 512MB ram, etc....

LinuxCNC already has remote GUI's and web interface, i never used any of those, and i never aimed for that way of using it.
I am much more interested in using a lite Linux for running LinuxCNC, not the heavy weight desktop versions we use daily, something like Porteus would be perfect as it is quite up to date and is under 400MB total, runs like a dream on a lot of PC's and laptops i own, some are pretty old.
And even all that is just nitpicking as latest Linux still run nicely on 10 year old hardware, USFF are cheap. can be attach to monitor with 4 of M4 screws so a touch screen with it behind and a network cable to control box with Mesa or EtherCAT is very clean and near perfect.

Yes, the web GUI was pretty rough back when i last checked, but it did work.
More importantly, we are talking about Linux, so pretty much anything can run remotely, even using SSH works for a lot of things, Andy mentioned this often:
-In a terminal ssh -Y to remote PC with LinuxCNC
-linuxcnc
This will open the config picker, and last i tried it it will run Axis GUI without issues, as far as i can recollect, was several years back last i tried.
Issues might arise when local network is not set up properly, so ping the LinuxCNC machine, good ping times never go above 1ms. And yes, i have run a Mesa 7i92 through a switch for over a week without ever dropping the link, from a laptop.
There is also linuxcncrsh, no idea how good or bad it is.
