Take a look at http://radio.linux.org.au/ for a listing of ham
radio related
software for the Linux operating systems.
Also, I have found that the Debian distribution offers superb ham
radio
support. Debian itself, I would not recommend to a new Linux user,
but some
of it's derivatives are excellent, such as Mepis, and Ubuntu.
I second the recommendation of a Debian-based Linux distribution (I
currently use Ubuntu 6.10). While I am not aware of any Linux
applications which perform some of the features of Ham Radio Deluxe,
there are some pretty good applications out there. I use TLF for
contest and general-purpose logging and gMFSK for digital modes.
Xlog and Klog are also good logging programs. All of these interface
with a large variety of radios using the hamlib library. All of
these are available as Debian packages, which makes installation
quite easy. A new digital mode program which will be available in
the next release of Debian (and probably its offspring) is fldigi.
You can find links to all of these at the URL listed above.
