Default Linux for Hams

It also has a "run from the CD" mode that's kind of nice. You can run it
without installing anything and see what you think. If you don't like it,
just take the CD out.


The Fedora project just announced a "spin" of Fedora called "Fedora
Electronic Lab". This is a live CD loaded up with electronics stuff.
Fedora includes a set of LiveCD tools to encourage custom spins. So far no
ham app spin, tho.

The problem with these Live CDs is that you still need to have a bit of
Linux savvy if you want to use the Live CD and save some data. It isn't
hard, but if you are using the Live CD to try out some Linux distro that can
be a pretty big barrier to fully enjoying it.
