I don’t use Linux for anything but this currently, so I needed a lot of help getting to use the dongle and other things that are different from Linux to windows. But, after a few steers from these guys I was off an running. I have an old old old dell, that I dropped on its head a few times, then scabbed in a Toshiba drive from a Sony viao... and put on Debian. The thing actually makes hard drive noise like its from the 90’s. I will just say rocket launches usually cover everything in dirt where I fly, my car has a special coating underneath and in it, not to mention I am a scatter brain, so I don’t take anything I don’t care to loose to a launch. so nice laptops stay at home, and frankenstien ducktaped pc comes to the site. my last flight pulled the altimeter off the board, (sheared all 4 4-40 nylon screws) which in turn removed the antenna. I fear it tore the trace. (haven't had time to look at it yet.) Booooo... sometimes, on windows I try to back up and install a release or 2 earlier to see if the older versions work correctly. Then try the current release. It can fix the timeout 3000 message. (I think the last time I had that it was a bad java install link.)

But I was only half-silly in my response. An inexpensive windows laptop is what I usually buy for the kids &/or xyl and then scrub the drive and install linux. i.e. The mac hardware is too expensive and more especially since it really doesn't do anymore than a similar laptop that costs much less and can be bought at any store. For myself the last two machines (laptops) have been chromebooks that I also scrub the drive and install linux, but this requires custom kernels and is not for a novice linux user. I also only buy laptops or tablets or cell phones anymore. - Not So Anonymous (otherwise known as Bob, w9ya) On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 7:25 PM, w9ya <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Actually "we" all (well most of us) use linux. - Not So Anonymous On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 6:02 PM, Max McHatton <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hell all, My Altusmetrum softtware and TeleMetrum were working great on my Win 7P notebook PC.
