You'll probably need a crash course on setting up RDP though, if you aren't familiar with networking and Linux. CNC machining isn't something you learn by reading a blog or watching a YouTube video, in fact trying to learn that way is likely to end up in loss of life or limb or destroying the machine.
I think as a RHCE I can cope.
As an ex-marine engineer I am well familiar with lathes and mills etc and how dangerous can be. The point is here to setup linuxcnc without hardware so I can play safely with no mass, speed and sharp bits involved. What I suspect I will end up doing is building a small / simple powered model.
