I should have trimmed this post, but I wouldn't know where :D

I could have spent an hour or two looking up linuxcnc, rtai, xenomai patchkit, 
and so forth, but it seems to me you should be running a separate box (or 
virtual box) for your "stepper motors". I vaguely remember you mentioning it, 
but also then thought that it wasn't anyway relevant to a "desktop" 
environment.

Trying seriously to be as diplomatic as possible, I'd say that you should 
really consider separating your mission critical work from you day-to-day work 
space.

To you too, and sorry if I sounded condescending - I'm not sure I have the age 
for it in this forum :)
