Can anyone recommend some automation software that will run under
Linux? I have been using a windoze based product until now and I am
tired of the reliability problems inherent to windoze. It doesn't have
to be loaded with features, just the basics. I operate a low power,
non-profit, "Part 15" AM station that is on the air 24/7, so cost is an
issue as well.

I have Googled this topic a lot, and have only come across a lot of
"beta" versions, or sites that say that "they are working on it, and
will release a beta soon..."

Any suggestions?

Anyone??

The only one I can think of that will run on Linux is Scott Systems. They
have a version for Windows XP and Linux. But the cost may be out of the ball
park for your type of station.
Also try http://freshmeat.net/ for other Linux programs.

Does it have to be Linux? I've seen a "Part 15" station that was completely
programmed on an Apple iPod. Of course the owner used a PC to make the
MP3s, upload them, and program the iPod, but once that was done the iPod
alone ran the station 24/7. To top it off, the iPod and the transmitter
were powered by a solar panel and storage batteries! Very clever
arrangement.
