http://www.afu-knoppix.de/ A German ham, Hubert Fink (DG7MGY), has created a customized version of the Knoppix Linux system, called AFU-Knoppix. Knoppix (and AFU-Knoppx) are "Live CD" systems. You can boot (start) you computer, and run all the software, right off the CD, with no installation required. AFU-Knoppix includes many ham and GPS applications ready to run, complete with icons on the desktop. It has most of the standard Knoppix applications as well. | ||||||||

http://home.iae.nl/users/reinc/dxpedition_disk.html This is a CD-based system designed for ham radio operations, especially DX Expeditions. It relies upon the use of a USB Memory Drive (commonly called "key drives" or "pen drives") to store data, config files, and the logging program TLF. It enables anyone to slip a CD into a laptop and boot into a Linux system with ham radio software loaded without touching the hard drive. TLF is a very full featured contest loging program, and worth using at the base station as well. | ||||||||

GNHLUG usually had a booth at Hosstraders Hamfest, to spread the word about Linux and GNHLUG, and (when possible) to demonstrate radio-related Linux software. We used our ArtWork, banners, business cards, BrochureWare and current Linux distributions. We were there for Spring 2006. See Hosstraders report. | ||||||||

We sampled the first year of NEAR-Fest, too. However, we reached the conclusion that the time for GNHLUG involvement in hamfest has passed. Linux was gone mainstream; handing out CDs and advocating Linux is no longer needed. This decision was reached mostly independently of the Hosstraders/NEAR-Fest transition. | |||||||

Help! Everything is in German!Both Knoppix and AFU-Knoppix were created by Germans. This means CDs based on them may default to German language. That can be a problem for the many people who don't read German. Fortunately, English language support is also included. Most of the CDs we handed out defaulted to English, and so this isn't a problem at all. However, we didn't realize this right away, so a few of the early ones might default to German. If so, this is fairly easy to fix. You have to type a special command at the "boot:" prompt that appears immediately after the computer starts from the CD. The command is (don't type the "boot:" part):boot: lang=us<!-- have to have /PRE start the line or TWiki's TOC gets confused --> Now, there's a second tricky part (as if this wasn't tricky enough already): Germans use a different keyboard layout that the US. That means the key labels we use don't match what the computer thinks they should be (since it thinks it is in Germany). In particular, the equals sign (=) is on a different key in Germany. So, type the equals sign you see in the above command, you need to press the SHIFT and ZERO keys together -- as if you were typing a closing parenthesis with the US keymap. Sorry for the confusion! | |||||||

Introduction | |||||||
Linux and ham radio go together very well. They share much of the same spirit of freedom, independence, and "do it yourself" attitude. Perhaps not surprisingly, there is a great deal of radio-related software available for Linux, much of it high quality, FreeSoftware, and free of charge. Some of this software is interesting even to non-hams - satellite tracking programs, for instance, or PC programs for listening to special modes, or for receiving WEFAX (weather faxes). Linux also offers a great deal of engineering-related software, such as circuit-design and diagramming programs. Linux is beginning to get broader attention in the amateur radio community. See, for instance, "Digital Dimension", March 2004 QST, where Stan Horpeza WA1LOU writes, "In the days that followed the posting of my Linux Surfin' columns, I received more mail than about anything I've written in over a quarter of a century." | ||||||||

If you were at Hosstraders, got a CD or talked to a GNHLUG member, and have questions, or need help, please consider joining one of our MailingLists (the "discuss" list is an open forum, suitable for asking questions), or perhaps attending one of the meetings held by OurChapters. |

GNHLUG usually has a booth at Hosstraders Ham Fest, to spread the word about Linux and GNHLUG, and (when possible) to demonstrate radio-related Linux software. GNHLUG will be at the Fall 2003 Hosstraders, in our usual spot. Hope to see you there! A large list of radio-related software and information for Linux can be found at: http://radio.linux.org.au |
