  • Mastodon comment on Episode #595 from @bgarfoot

  • It was a great episode.  Very curious about the Skyroof project - I’ll have to look more into it.

  • Mastodon ping from @bgarfoot

  • @kb6nu Really, you can’t go wrong with any Debian-based distribution.  Linux Mint is generally the easiest to learn (and what I run), but any of them will work. Also, paging @lhspodcast. [Dan’s original comment: I’m thinking of converting my #hamradio computer to #Linux, now that W10 is no longer being supported. Do any of you have a #Linux computer powering your ham station? If so, what distro and what, if any, logging software are you using?]
