GNU/Linux Ham Radio Setups

Here's a quick list of pages I found promising about using GNU/Linux for ham radio.

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.

HamPi

HamPi is a Raspberry Pi image that comes preloaded with tons of ham software. Here's the list (copied from their README.docx file:
