I am at that point that I could switch, even if I have to give up some of the software that I prefer, since I have retired and do not absolutely have to have certain Windows only software that I used to require in my business.
Years ago I had a Linux dual boot and managed to correct my MBR and did not know what to do to get back to Windows, however, now I think I can repair that if it happens again so that would be an alternative. Are there any hams who have recently completely switched over to Linux? If so, can you comment on the pros and cons of your experience? Are there any good discussion groups that cover this topic? Has anyone had any success yet with the XP version of Win4Lin and running the serial ports? This seems to be the only stumbling block. 73, Rick, KV9U David Freese wrote: >I would like to announce that I have posted "fldigi", release 1.01. >This release consists of GPL source code written in C++ and uses the >Fast Light Toolkit gui support libraries.
