I keep trying Linux with the same reaction. In the past I worked on as many as three different computer systems and OSs with embedded system development. I could always easily adapt to whichever machine I was on. Linux just always drives me nuts trying to get aspects of it to work. I am trying it again but the network setup is fighting me.
I am getting close to having HF digital running. The wire is on the fence and I just replaced the power connector on the IC706 with Powerpoles so it is ready to go. A Rigblaster interface is "in the mail". I may operate from the backyard table for a little while to make sure the wire is an antenna that does something. Then I have to figure out how to bring the coax into the house.

It has to work at least as good as MS Windows XP and Vista, both of which are good for the end user. I have tried Linux off and on for over 5 years, but truthfully, the more I have used it and tried it out, the less impressed I have been:( I am sorry to report that, because I really thought that I would like it, considering the intense hype about Linux. 73, Rick, KV9U
