[Elecraft] Firmware upgrades using Ubuntu 12.04

[Jim Lowman]

Sorry to those who aren't interested...

We had a Z-Frame at my office.  I was the systems programmer for three 
years,
until we decommissioned it.

VSE/POWER ran on top of the Unix implementation.  I had to remember to
shut both down in an orderly manner.

One big pain with Windows is the need to reboot or restart the OS 
periodically.
We had one Unix box that hadn't come offline in seven years, and then not
until the p/s failed.

Stability.
