This list was prompted by comments that had been expressed in the various Linux newsgroups about the number of amateur radio operators that were involved with Linux. It seemed to me that I was catching snippets of information here and there relating to development efforts taking place, but I never really knew where to locate either the person responsible for a particular piece of software, or the software itself. The list is growing as new packages are found.
This list is not limited to non-commercial software in any way. Taking a serious look at most amateur radio fields shows that most good developments are those that are designed by individuals and that commercial entities have taken up and disseminated to the mass market. I'd like to see the same happen for Linux support for Amateur Radio software too.
This list was originally called the RADIOLINUX list, but Matt Welsh suggested that there was no reason why it shouldn't be distributed with the Linux Documentation Project documents, so it has been renamed the HAM-HOWTO and will be made available with the rest of the Linux Documentation. I make no apologies for the name.
