GNU/Linux Ham Radio Setups
I'm wondering what / if / how any of you are using GNU/Linux for ham radio. Here's a quick list of pages I found promising:
If any of you are already using GNU/Linux to run ham radio programs, please feel free to edit this page to share your experience, tips, etc. If this page grows enough, we can move it to the How To section.
