Dear amigos !
Running here on two machines different versions of Linux operating systems...
Old clunker runs Puppy Linux 4.3 with Fldigi, and it works extremely well,
never crashes and can even operate with an old 640 X 480 black and white
monitor !!!
It is my main digital modes computer, as well as backup for text processing,
web surfing etc.
The other P5 machine runs UBUNTU with three options ... 8.04 KDE, 9.04 and
just recently the 10.04 latest version.
All work fine running digital modes...
Have not tried SSTV yet... but PSK31, Olivia, MFSK work fine...
Just by .02 cents worth of practical experience ... and I do not have to worry
about malware protection... a simple CLAMAV seems to protect the two
machines very well ..

P.S. If any you have new ham radio programs that run on Linux UBUNTU or PUPPY,
please
send mail off the list to learn where it can be downloaded

Great idea. Just remember, the "Windows way" of doing things doesn't
always translate into Ubuntu. Give Ubuntu a good period of time, learn to use
it, and you will not regret it.

Thank you everyone for the very usefull
information. The response was great!. I think I will install
both on the HD so I can choose on boot-up for the
time being. I have been told that once using
Ubuntu for awhile, I will never want to go back to
windows. We will see.
Thanks again
Lynn
