This machine will be running Ubuntu 9.04 with a 3G dongle and probably something like Audacity for basic editing. The audio will then be converted into Flac (or maybe high quality OGG to save space) and then sent to the station via SFTP where it will be converted back into linear WAV audio (although the news system they use does actually have native support for OGG and FLAC despite being a proprietary Windows application).
