Version 21 - last version to support 32-bit
Version 25a: 05-May-2023 (xfce4) Xubuntu 22.04.0 (last remastered version)
Version 26a: 22-Aug-2024 (installation script)

Version 26a
=========

Version 26a can theoretically be run on any flavor of Ubuntu Linux. An installation script installs the ham radio software on top of whatever you're running. The approach is entirely different from previous versions. There are no remastered versions available in version 26a. To compile the source code, 8GB of memory are required.

Version 25
========

Version 25a and earlier are remastered from Xubuntu Linux.

This software collection uses the Xfce4 desktop environment with menus customized for Amateur Radio use.

Recommended minimums: 2GHz CPU, 8GB memory, and 15 GB of disk space (after the installation is complete).
