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 26b-beta: 02-Oct-2024

Version 26
========

Version 26 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. To compile the source code, 2GB of memory is needed but more is recommended.

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).
