Talking about new installs.
I have been looking at Xastir to use for aprs work. I plan to have Fedora
Core 5 on a PIII  1Ghz system which will be the all purpose server on my
network, plus a P150 laptop with 80Mb RAM & a 2gb HDD to run a version of
Linux to do the viewing/monitoring of aprs on.
Does anyone have a suggestion on which distro would suit the laptop?
