Nice, thank you.

Any time Tommy, glad to be of help.
I found the MATE version of Debian really needs some extra packages installed to get a decent menu and the get the panel the way I wanted it.
Next, now the repo is setup, is an updated Mint ISO without all the bells & whistles, just the Linuxcnc packages.

Yeah, Debian lacks a lot of packages, that is strange since it is bigger than Mint.
So far i found out it lacks:
-open in terminal
-open as admin
-lspci < esential for us hardware tinkerers, needs installing pci-utils
-mesaflash < can not be installed with apt
-sensors-applet installed but it does not show up on the "add to panel" menu.
-boots slower than Mint
-it adds swap form other devices present during installation and later hangs searching for them for 90 seconds
-But it is lighter on resources while using it so it feels snappier !

There is now also a ready made ISO with Linux Mint 19.2 and Linuxcnc 2.8, so just download the ISO, write it to a USB using DD or win32imager, boot from USB, test as much as you like or install to a HDD/SSD.
Compliments of BeagleBrainz.
Thank you, Beagle.
