Be aware that Squeeze (Debian 6.*) has just ceased long term support.

Debian 8.4 and Debian 7.9 are about to come out in a couple of weeks.

Wheezy is about to be moved to LTS - kernel and the most important packages
only updated.

We're hoping to release Debian 9 early next year with Debian kernel 4.10

In the meantime, there's Debian 8 which works fine for most purposes but 
maybe not for your CNC distribution. Maybe you need to prod them to update
their software.

All the best, as ever,
