I use a program called aprx for the digipeater and igate on my setup.  It's small and fairly simple to configure up (although Curt is possibly finding some bugs with it).  It's available at:

http://wiki.ham.fi/Aprx.en

There are plenty of examples in the documentation. 

I have my own personal biases, and I love Xastir, but I also believe in using the right tool for the job.  For a machine that's stuck up in a repeater shack that nobody's going to be looking at, it makes little sense to run a full mapping program like Xastir.
