Way To Go, Linux

I got Ubuntu 9.10 up and running this past weekend so I could start testing out some Linux software, and I was amazed how much was available. I assumed there would be a lot of obscure stuff out there that I would run across eventually, but there was a separate category for amateur radio right in the software manager!

I’ve used Linux a decent amount in the past, but it was usually for work, or just playing around with it at home on a spare machine for the heck of it. Since OS X is my primary OS, I didn’t see enough of an advantage to having a dedicated Linux machine (OS X is officially UNIX, so very similar to Linux under the hood). After seeing this, I’m going to have to start taking Linux a little more seriously.

It may be a little while before I can review any of the Linux software, but I’ll have some posted on my software page as soon as possible.
