LHS Episode #003
Richard and I had a lot going on in our lives over the past two weeks. Most of it had nothing to do with amateur radio or Linux. Luckily we managed to get Episode #003 recorded and as I write this it’s about 3:15am. But the podcast is going to be released on time. Please remember to send us that feedback, whether it’s by e-mail, comment on the LHS web site or the Black Sparrow Media forums.
In this episode, we discuss downloading and installing amateur radio software from remote repositories using the various commands provided by Debian-based Linux distributions. We also mention a few other kinds of package managers, those used by Red Hat, OpenSuSE, Gentoo and more. And we touch on installing applications from source code, among other juicy tidbits. Enjoy.
