I have no idea on the other distros out there, but here on Ubuntu 9.04 I just downloaded the latest HRD and loaded it with wine. Getting some errors about 'out of memory' and it seems to stall a little, but it seems to be working somewhat. I haven't tried any of the digital modes or setup controlling my Icom yet. The Dxcluster connect to the Internet works. Just did this to see if I could load HRD, not to use it as my main logger or digital interface. I have plenty of that installed already for Ubuntu. All I did was download it to my desktop and then right clicked then down to 'Wine Windows program loader' and clicked. It loaded ok with a couple of issues that I can't remember what it said. Other than that, it has loaded. Wine seems to have grown up and gotten a better install and support with each newer Ubuntu. I remember a year and half ago that I couldn't even get Wine to run anything without crashing horribly. I am only an end user that has some tinkering skills with linux...:) I am good enough to get things working on my own systems...:) James W8ISS
