Native Packet on Linux

I've been dancing with Packet Radio on Linux for some 15 plus years. Every time I set up a new machine it's an adventure to get going. Make that a never ending adventure since there's always something that needs to be tweaked, adjusted or downright fixed.

It's about to happen again.

My "packet" Linux box has a dual-booting XP-Home partition and that's going to be come a remote Ham Radio Deluxe server up North at the barn. So it's time to reset and build a new Linux packet server.

I'm not even sure what hardware is going to be used. The NSLU2? A WRT54GL? The mini-itx? Probably the old 400 MHz file server that's to be replaced with a better system that can handle the Gigabyte video files and storage requirements.

So - here's YAB - Yet Another Blog - to chronicle the on going adventure of setting up Amateur Radio AX25 packet on a Linux server.
