You shouldn't need any special drivers. I have used a USB/Serial adaptor
with Mandrake without any problems. I can't remember the details but you
simply use /dev/USBtty0 or whatever port you are on.
Do a google and you will find the details; it's quite straight forward.
I would use Linux more for ham radio if there were more ham programmes.
I use if for everything else. But there is a lack of good logging
software and something like DxAtlas. Jlog is quite good, but doesn't do
much in the way of QSL management, label printing etc..
I tried running DxAtlas, HamCap etc under Win4Lin but they all fell over
on graphics issues on my laptop.

Hi Ken.
My pooter doesn't have any serial ports so I use USB/serial adaptors.
Have you found any Linux (Fedora Core 3 but it shouldn't matter which
distro) drivers for there adaptors?

Marote (latest version) on my Red Hat Linux system. It seems to be
working just fine and I enjoy being able to do my ham stuff in linux
(as opposed to having to join the "dark side" folks from Redmond).
Also run GMFSK with my SignaLink SL-1. Good luck and enjoy your K2.
