[OZAPRS] (OT) Linux.... (?)

[VK2XCI]

Richard,
I'm using Ubuntu, which is a "desktop" distro based on Debian. There is 
a server version and a basic low resources version called Xubuntu

It installs easily and painlessly and has a good range of stuff "out of 
the box" being debian based, installing new stuff is a point and click
job.

Support is via forums, of which there are plenty.

It is not a "technical" distro and has a funny way of handling the root 
user!.
