Surfin': The Latest Line on Linux
"The Latest Line on Linux" is the title of this week's installment of Surfin', which also has news about plug-ins for Firefox. After you read Surfin', please leave your comments (if any) here.
I'm using fldigi and xlog with Ubuntu Linux. The combo works great. For the most part, I've gotten away from Windows. I still have a partition so I can do some work at home (I'm a Database Admin). I wish Mac OS X would have such a wide variety of apps like Linux does. It has a couple of good ones (like Cocoamodem) but does not have the integration that Linux has. Of the stations I work on the digital modes most use Windows but I see a growing trend of Linux users. I hope more new hams will gravitate to Linux as they come on board.
