Andrew, The use of Ubuntu, as David, has mentioned is a reasonably good choice for PSKMail. Debian is also a very good choice distribution to use as well. Any Linux distribution can install PSKMail, but those two are better because there are scripts that installs everything. I have done it with Fedora and found it to be a pain because it doesn't have all of the packages for the multitude of Perl modules necessary for PSKMail. It has most but not all which requires to find them and install them manually. Its even worse if you have to compile them all by hand! CentOS, strangely enough, with the use of additional repositories has all of this but I cannot compile FLdigi with it. SuSE, I cannot comment as I never tried it. 73 Josh, AB9FT ________________________________ From: Andrew O'Brien <k3ukandy@xxxxxxxxx> To: pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 11:05 AM Subject: [pskmail] Linux install for PSKmail server? I am planning to join the MARS PSKMAIL network and run a server. In the past I ran a server of a Puppy CD. For simplicity of interface with my digital mode interfaces, I would like not to switch computers when I activate the part-time server or move back to ham operations via Windows. My PC has two hard drives, the second one is never used. I was wondering if anyone had advice about a dual boot system and how to install? Also what Linux variant is recommended for use with PSKmail server software ? Andy
