================================
My goal in creating this DVD was to allow the user to have an easier way
to get started with a Linux computer and an amateur radio. There is still a
lot for the user to do However, I have complete confidence in your ability
to learn what you may not yet know how to do. After all, you're a licensed
amateur radio operator

If you are the type of person who can install a tube into your rig with
no further direction, or perhaps a circuit board in your computer, then
this DVD may be for you. However, if you need to be told to get the
screwdriver and remove the screws first, with pictures and text, you may
be disappointed.

This DVD is based on Ubuntu 12.04 and is a Remix DVD. This means that the
selection of software packages is not the same as the standard Ubuntu
12.04. The vast majority of the programs on this DVD came directly from
the Ubuntu repository. A few programs were installed either directly from
source, or installed as a precompiled binary. To the best of my knowledge,
there is no proprietary software on this DVD. If you find any proprietary
software on this DVD, please send me email.

Based on the assumptions above, software was selected for its usefulness
to amateur radio, as well as being considerate of the relatively limited
memory, reduced CPU horsepower, and possibly reduced disk space of an
older computer. Lightweight software need not be primitive in either
function or appearance My old Sony VAIO laptop, with 256MB of memory
and a 1GHz processor, is the standard which was used.

The included amateur radio software is shown:

aa-analyzer.pl - command line program used with RigExpert AA-xxx analyzers
ax25 - software for AX.25 packet radio

for standard message formats (NBEMS)
