I just asked if the lcnc guys have respun their install image for 64 bit jessie, in which case I'll probably use it. But there is some reticence in doing the 64 bit for the real machinery control as so far its been a quite measurable amount slower, and the real time patches I don't think have fully caught up with the 64 bit scene. Even building it for PAE can mess up the realtime performance. That has been driving us toward spending a couple hundred on FPGA interface cards that can do thing by themselves for a millisecond as they can do the step pulse very steadily at 10 microseconds a pulse, where the fastest we have logged in software has been a fairly broad error in timing at 25 microseconds per step. If someplace in the install, it asks, how do I recognize that the question refers to systemd as opposed to the tried and proven init?
