[Elecraft] LINIX PCs and ham SW?

[Solosko, Robert B (Bob)]

 Hello All,
	
	Thanks to all who responded to my request for info on ham SW on
a Linux PC. From the responses that I've received, I've concluded that a
Linux PC would serve my needs for logging and for control of my K2, but
not for SDR/panadapter purposes. (My other uses, e.g., EZNEC, etc.,
aren't as critical as I can run those applications on the family PC when
my wife isn't using it).

	So, it appears that my other option is a Vista PC - and I have
the same questions - what ham SW runs or doesn't run under Vista:
logging programs, K2 rig control programs, SDR programs, EZNEC,
transmission line programs, etc.?

	Thanks.

Hi Folks,

	I'm considering buying an inexpensive LINIX PC (i.e., ASUS eee)
to be dedicated to my station - my primary uses would be logging, rig
control and as a panadapter. Other uses would be running design
programs, e.g. EZNEC, TL-details, and general word processing,
spreadsheet, e-mail and web browsing.

	What is the availability of ham SW for these applications that
will run under LINIX? Will any of the SRD programs that can be used for
panadapter purposes run under LINIX? What about sound card capability
and audio input and output? Will EZNEC, etc. ruin under LINIX?

	Thanks.
