BTW this distribution war's,
Is there any distribution which is made for Hams ,
i.e. Perfect ham distribution built in ax25 support,custom compiled kernel,GUI
based control panel and interface for command line utils(like xrpm for rpm...)
and all other crap removed like which any ham will never use like
scsi/ISDN/development/etc support, and all this is just few disks, I think we
should make use of the Flexibility that Linux gives us insted of crying over
configuring the system thus converting over-flexibility to simplicity.
This will bring Linux based radio systems upto the win95+AWG leve but with the
same flexibility as before with more people getting on to linux.
I might be thinking of a Dream OS & Distribution for hams, but is there
anything like this or how about making one ?
