Hamradio Linux-Deabian


Hamradio Linux-Debian
I have installed Debian based Hamradio Linux.
It has all the packages with Internet learning and licensing protocols.
It is for the experts and one who has used Debian before.
I advice one to install it with expert or text based protocol.
One need to configure the software repository and one is advised to use USA.

It is a Mate light weight desktop and probably for individual user (not multiple users) rightly so if one is configuring the computer as a Hamradio base with unique identity.

There is no graphical utility for software installation. 
I was wrong it has a graphical software installation. 
I could not see the system and control center.
I am currently installing Abiword.

Developers say it is experimental and it came in 64 bit and now it is available in 32 bits.
However, one needs to know how to work on terminal and apt get etc.
I myself is learning Hamradio from A to Z so I will write about all the growing pains.
My first job will be to read the documents and study the tutorials, first.

Pinguy Linux Should Asserting Itself

Pinguy Linux Should Asserting Itself
Pimguy Linux was one of the best and a favorite of mine.
It stopped innovation simply due to Ubuntu's bold decisions to change its desktop.
It had the appeal of the Apple MaC OS.
Not any more.
I went through my archive of Linux images and only three distributions has the capability and light weigh to mount netooks.
Number one is Peppermint.
Number two is Pinguy 11.04/
Number three is an Ubuntu derivative EeePee or something similar.
Notable exception is KNOPPIX, even the CD version cannot.
Puppy Derivatives are there and I mount them on a SD Card but one may have to format the Card with ex2 or ex4 files.
Pinguy should go to Debian base.
MIND you even Debian is forking on INIT issue over systemd,
