Listen,I have two kids that I would like to get into linux and using it to program embedded systems, namely arduino. We are used to ubuntu. ubuntu is, as previously stated, user friendly. thanks for your input, i may consider looking into mint, but for now I'm committed to using ubuntu. I'm sure at some point I will outgrow it, but for now, this is me.
UPDATED DOWNLOADS ON 11/25/2015 (made changes in grub setting for latency, better latency results)
I have a couple of files you may be interested in if you what to compile LinuxCNC you will have the option to install Rtai, Rt-preempt or Xenomai kernels. The script file will works with Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu 14.04 and Linuxmint 17.2. With Ubuntu you will get a splat error near end of script if you install Rt-preempt just report error to get rid of message there will be no problems. Script file will make grub changes for latency and add cam resources to Inkscape. I also made Menu items for start menu. The last time I used it documentation would not build as html, but PDF worked fine. I think there is a mistake in git for the html build. When I tested this it built html for a couple of days then would not work after that. In Readme there are some references near the end of file for some CAM software that you might not be aware of. Files can be downloaded from below link they are two large to up-load here.

OK, so what does it actually install? Have you patched the LinuxCNC source to support Xenomai, or have you discovered that, contrary to the expectations of Jeff (who wrote the uspace code) that uspace works with Xenomai?
