After many years being based on Ubuntu, Skywave Linux is now rebased and built on top of Debian Sid. It is a distribution I maintain, with a nod to radio hobbyists and experimenters, enabling people without antennas or radio equipment to access hundreds of software defined radio servers around the world. Skywave Linux also has hardware drivers for popular software defined radio devices, so users can plug them in and tune their local airwaves. I'm a big fan of low power digital modes in amateur radio and weather satellites, so the system is set up with decoding tools Fldigi and SatDump. This version 5 release is more installation friendly than the old Ubuntu iterations. It is still a live distro you boot and run from a flash drive, but it can easily be installed like any other Linux. Free and open source software FTW.
