I recently picked up a Raspberry Pi 2 to use as a small internet
computer in case the main desktop died. So far I've been pretty
impressed with it's ham radio capabilities.
FLDIGI was pretty easy to get running though I haven't progressed to the
USB hookup on my K3S yet (a few other programs to get running first).
In the Logging Programs thread, CQRLOG was mentioned as a good Linux
based logging program and I have successfully gotten it running on the
Pi 2. It is a little tricky to install and there is at least one
depencency (mysql) that isn't in the CQRLOG package so you're on your
own finding and installing that first.
There are others out there that apparently have some version of the RPi
running as a K3/KX3 control computer, so this is really nothing new,
just a reiteration of the fact it can be done and the little single
board Linux box seems to be up to the task.
I'd look forward to seeing how someone else has done the K3S USB
interface (off line please to avoid Eric's wrath for too much clutter on
the reflector) and as I get time I'll continue the attempt myself. As
far as I have gotten, everything appears to work well and using WiFi, I
have a stable internet connection which is absolutely necessary to keep
frustration to a minimum when looking for and installing programs on the
Pi 2.
