I do not use amateur radio but i have seen some apps for it in FreeBSD's ports collection. One of the major advantages FreeBSD has over Linux is it's ports collection. Almost any application you will need is inluded in FreeBSD's ports collection. Have a gander www.freebsd.org and on the left side of the page you will see a link to the ports collection. From what i have heard, FreeBSD has a better TCP/ip stack as well. It is faster and has no BS that most Linux distribs have, such as YAst (SuSE Linux). Have a look around the FreeBSD website. Most of your questions can be answered there. Also subscirbe to this list if you have not already and you will have tech support almost around the clock since the list includes members from all over the world, and some like myself that just never sleep! Good Luck. Regards, G.
