Easiest way to being using linux for astro stuff?
It's been a long time since I tried installing linux on a computer (about 15 years) and fortunately things seem to have gotten easier.
I've put Distro Astro on an old computer with a thumb drive and everything seems to be operating smoothly, but I want to put PHD2 and Eqmod on it as well. This seems less straightforward. Even updating the flash plugin for Firefox was a chore, yet everything seem to indicate things are much easier with Ubuntu (much more click and go). Is this true? Should I just ditch Distro Astro and start again?
I've not even started plugging my gear into the computer, though I am monitoring my laptop running my gear with Teamviewer. That installed okay.
