v1.8, 9 July 1995

It is hoped that this document will assist Amateur Radio operators in finding and trying the various amateur radio software that has been written for or ported to Linux. It is also hoped that as a consequence of this information being available that more amateur radio operators will choose Linux as the platform of choice for their experimentation, and that software developers will choose Linux as the platform for their software development, further expanding the role of operating systems like Linux in the Amateur Radio field. This document also provides some detailed information on how to configure and install some of the more important pieces of software.
