You must have been looking at George's site.  Mine is at

I run my little mill with a linux box (dumpster dive special, with used cpu & 
memory) running emc-2.2.8.  The complete kit of that software is available in 
the ubuntu repo's.  It was once a Harbor Freight micro-mill but has been 
heavily reworked by me.  Its most recent duty last week was making a new air 
output manifold for my small air compressor from a 1x2x4" block of alu, the 
pot metal original had cracked and the leak couldn't be stopped.  Works 
great.  I can leave a framing nailer plugged in overnight and it might run 
once in the night now.  Was every 2 minutes.  Bad leak.
