[Ham-Computers] Linux in the ham shack

[WF2U]

My preferred Linux distribution is SuSe, presently I'm using V. 9.2
Professional on my main workstation. I had Red Hat for a while a few years
ago but went back to SuSe when V. 8.0 came out and upgraded as new versions
came out. I'll probably upgrade to SuSe 9.3 soon.
