Yes, the web GUI was pretty rough back when i last checked, but it did work.
More importantly, we are talking about Linux, so pretty much anything can run remotely, even using SSH works for a lot of things, Andy mentioned this often:
-In a terminal ssh -Y to remote PC with LinuxCNC
-linuxcnc
This will open the config picker, and last i tried it it will run Axis GUI without issues, as far as i can recollect, was several years back last i tried.
Issues might arise when local network is not set up properly, so ping the LinuxCNC machine, good ping times never go above 1ms. And yes, i have run a Mesa 7i92 through a switch for over a week without ever dropping the link, from a laptop.
There is also linuxcncrsh, no idea how good or bad it is.
