About ham radio software in general, I do use a lot of other ham radio

While I live and breath Debian, and have spent probably 90% of the time
since I was introduced to Debian in 1998, with it on the desktop, my
most recent personal machine runs Win 7. I used to have a macbook pro
17" running debian as my 'work' machine, and a little portege running
debian as my 'ham machine' when I was out and about..
But now that I'm married with kids, when I finally manage to get out, I
don't want to have to make sure batteries are charged, that the latest
apt-get upgrade hasn't killed my favourite apps, and that the firmware
for my wireless card hasn't been removed from the repository and killed
my ability to get on the 'net, or any other mucking about.. - I want to
just open up my go-bag, plug in the USB cable to the hub, fire up HRD,
and spend my hour chatting to folk on psk31, not messing with my OS :)
Cheers,
DG

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder
