Look at http://packages.ubuntu.com and click on the name of the version you have (7.10 is hardy, not sure what 6.06 is) and then hamradio... you will find MANY packages for APRS, PSK31, RTTY, and more. (Xastir is the most popular for APRS, from what I hear.)

John, There is an Amateur Radio SIG in the Fedora community that is ramping up quite a few programs. Goto http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/AmateurRadio and check it out. The link to the packages will take you to all the software development.

Hopefully someone can help me here.
I am experimenting with Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS here...and I'm so far impressed with the speed and ease of use. It's certainly no Windows XP, but it's not bad.
So...what are other Linux users using for APRS duty? Soundcard packet/APRS? Tracking?
No hurry...since I'm not swtiching my 333 MHz Celeron. I'm just in the "learning curve".
