There is a lot of stuff at the sites which Dan mentioned.
EZNEC is written for Windows only, but there are Linux applications
which use NEC (under the antennas tab on http://radio.linux.org.au).
OpenOffice is a pretty good general office suite (word processing,
spreadsheets, etc.) The Firefox browser is available for Linux and
there are many applications for email. There are also several
choices available for logging and rig control. I don't know if the
eee is powerful enough for everything, however (this would also be a
problem with Windows installed).

Hi Folks,
I'm considering buying an inexpensive LINIX PC (i.e., ASUS eee)
to be dedicated to my station - my primary uses would be logging, rig
control and as a panadapter. Other uses would be running design
programs, e.g. EZNEC, TL-details, and general word processing,
spreadsheet, e-mail and web browsing.
What is the availability of ham SW for these applications that
will run under LINIX? Will any of the SRD programs that can be used
for
panadapter purposes run under LINIX? What about sound card capability
and audio input and output? Will EZNEC, etc. ruin under LINIX?
