I've been playing with the Penguin for more then 10 years, but not seriously enough to install packages beyond what came installed with the distro. Here recently, I decided to dedicate the shack computer to Linux and chose Ubuntu because I know it is easy, and seriously, I need it to be easy if I am going to live with it full time. All of my previous use was in a dual boot configuration with Winders.
So here goes.......
Ubuntu Software Center has an very nice selection of software and it is easy to install........ Unfortunately it is light on the things I do in WIndows. Weather Radar software, rig control, Echolink, etc. are not to be found.
I did find some stuff and downloaded it but I can't figure out how to install it.
Advice? A bump in the right direction? Loud guffaws? Anything?
Thanks in advance!
