A couple of years ago when I installed Wheezy ISO on a 32 bit machine, I compiled the source and it just worked. More recently I could not install it but I found some instructions on line that let me install it. I think its supported natively in Mint which is what I'm running.

There are probably better options.

And if you have not found it, the connection sheet on this thread is very very useful.

i used pncconf to create a setup.
after giving the pc a fix ip adress (192.168.1.120) and using a working ethernetcable i was able to start linuxcnc!

See, Its easier than you think!

Here are some instructions from Big JohnT about setting up the network.

Depending on the IP address range of your network, you might need to change the IP address set by PNCCONF (in your HAL file) so then you can run it on the 10. range.
The network restart shown there does not work with Mint and the correct ones are listed (by me) early in the Mint Tutorial thread. There are also some hal parameters to enable the MPG inputs. I think its detailed on the connection sheet I linked to.
