Oops, I also missed that you were specifically looking for Linux info  
Bob.  Other folks covered it, but I missed it completely and also  
could have helped in that regard.

The abundance of ham radio software in Ubuntu is the direct result of  
the core group of Amateur Radio package managers in the upstream  
Debian project.

The Debian-Hams mailing list is always quiet, but active... and the  
group of hams using/supporting Debian (long before Ubuntu even existed  
as a down-stream/cross-stream distribution) has always been an  
impressive list of "who's who" in Amateur Radio... and Unix Operating  
Systems.
