Introduction

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.

Harv's Hamshack Hack

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 Involvement

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.

More information on radio-related software for Linux is available at many sites on the Web.

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."

These sites are directories (listings) of radio-related software for Linux. If you are looking for a program to do a particular thing, try looking here.

Debian-Ham is a floppy-based Linux ham radio software system. It was conceived as an alternative to to K1EA's well-known "CT" program for Microsoft Windows.

GNHLUG usually has a booth at Hosstraders Hamfest, to spread the word about Linux and GNHLUG, and (when possible) to demonstrate radio-related Linux software. We were there again at the Fall 2003 Hosstraders, in our usual spot. We sold lots of Linux CDs, talked to a lot of people, and hopefully got some new people interested in Linux and/or GNHLUG. Thanks to everyone who helped out.
