[PLUG] Introduction, John Bartley K7AAY

[Matt McKenzie]

Another Linux using Ham op (well Linux interested at least?), 73 and good
to have you.
Welcome!

Matt, K6LNX, and yes it is a vanity call sign (which I got while I lived in
CA thus the 6).

Been a member of PLUG since ... 2007 ish, and Linux user/enthusiast since
1999 or so.

I mainly use Fedora and Mint distributions, as well as Android on phones
and tablets.

Have you tried Linux yet? These days it is very easy to download a live
version of a distribution, and put it on a USB flash drive, and boot to it
to check it out.

If you haven't looked into it, there are a lot of Ham radio related
programs available on Linux as well.

Of course feel free to ask questions on the list that is what we're here
for.
