Rick, The Linux distros that are out have a tool for dual boot and is pretty easy to set up.
Two Yahoo groups one being Dave's W1HKJ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linuxham/ And: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linuxhams/ If you have a IRC client like MIRC or there are some on the Linux software that you install. Then use the Freenode server and #hamradio room, is a good place to have Linux questions related to ham radio answered.

Years ago I had a Linux dual boot and managed to correct my MBR and did not know what to do to get back to Windows, however, now I think I can repair that if it happens again so that would be an alternative. Are there any hams who have recently completely switched over to Linux? If so, can you comment on the pros and cons of your experience? Are there any good discussion groups that cover this topic? Has anyone had any success yet with the XP version of Win4Lin and running the serial ports? This seems to be the only stumbling block. 73, Rick, KV9U David Freese wrote: I would like to announce that I have posted "fldigi", release 1.01. This release consists of GPL source code written in C++ and uses the Fast Light Toolkit gui support libraries. There is also a pre-compiled binary that is known to operate on several Linux distros including the Ubuntu derivatives. You can find the posting at http://www.w1hkj.com 73, Dave, W1HKJ
