I am trying to get my Ham gear all working under Puppy Linux 2.12 because it is small, quick, free, and the developers are very responsive. I have found a mix of Linux logging, Pskmail, rig control, sstv, aprs, and other Ham tools online. Am just trying to sort out a couple of things on my laptop Linux install and then intend to begin loading and testing Ham apps. If you make any progress with Puppy Linux and Ham apps I'd sure love to hear about them! NOTE: The logging app runs under Java and works on Apple, Linux, and the various MS versions of windows. -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ... in sunny & warm Florida :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank our brave soldiers this season: http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1024.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ URL: bibleseven (dot) com
