To be clear, none of the issues I was seeing were Operating System issues. They were hardware failures. Even Linux and Apple OS don't run well on dead hardware. 73, Don M. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Joseph Bento Sent: Fri 7/14/2006 9:07 PM To: Discussion of AM Radio Cc: Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Re: OUT SOURCE OUT OF COUNTRY TECH HELP Linux is the only way to go for the ham operator.
