I'll keep posting updates on progress in the hope that it may be of some help to other Linux luddites such as myself.
I've identified the cause of the system slowdown/lockup. It was in fact the video driver. I had added an aftermarket video card to this PC so I could use an HDMI connection. I removed it and switched back to native VGA and the thing runs fine.
I've tried to connect to Gemini and the rest of the kit without success. I get a message asking if I have read/write access to the port. Not sure what the hell that means. There is no indication it's finding my cameras, FW or focuser. Those all load via a powered hub at the scope at the moment. It may be I'll have to ditch the hub and go back to a cable jungle. Pity but I don't know enough about Linux to see my way to any other solution.
