The documentation is rather weak whatever you take.. (Or rather, there are lots of tiny bits of it scattered all around..) "Vendors" that supply AX.25 in binary delivered kernel are in my quick survey: - Debian (4.0) - SuSE (9.x, probably same with 10.x) Vendors that don't supply: - Redhat / Fedora If you don't need AX.25, that is meaningless difference. (It is meaningfull when you want to make RF-to-net APRS igate.) For gmfsk et.al. HF data mode programs about any Linux with support for your audio hardware is a good choice. Again Debian is likely your best choice for a system that has them all available pre-compiled. There are tons and tons of other Linux distributions, like various flavours of Ubuntu, which is Debian derivative. But do they have HAM-suites ?
