Ed - I just downloaded the latest distro which is supposed to have the server on it. I have not burned the CD yet, so I am not sure what is really there. I have never played with Linux before, so this is all new for me, however, my son will be home over Christmas, and he lives Linux 24/7 (as near as I can tell - HI!) so I have asked him to give me a hand getting things set up. I have a radio I can dedicate so we (US hams) can have a place to try things out. Does anyone on the list have input on what band/freq I should inittially set up on? I am leaning towards 30 meters. -- 73 - Bill - N8ET Kanga US www.kangaus.com 419-423-4604 (Kanga) 419-423-5643 (home) 419-348-0457 (cell)
