Yes, I use it. My Morse training programs will run under Wine, as will the popular VOAProp (which actually runs better under Linux/Wine than under Windows Vista.) I recall that MixW crashed horribly when I tried it. Has anyone been brave enough to try HRD? Fortunately the Linux version of the K3 Utility appeared so I never needed to try a firmware update under Wine. ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com KComm for K2/K3: www.g4ilo.com/kcomm.html -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/LINIX-PCs-and-ham-SW--tp18218265p18242892.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
