[Discuss-gnuradio] Ubunto and GnuRadio, Lovely together

[Robert McGwier]

I am running gr on my new Ubunto installation on my Mini-ITX   'SDR 
machine'. Not one single build of a library was required.  For those 
that do not know about it,  Ubunto is a Debian derivative.  It's package 
tool is apt and synaptic.  This was completely trivial outside of one 
"wrapped around the axle" race condition I put synaptic in that 
eventually required me to manually delete the package from the cache and 
force unmark all selections.  (python-sip4-qt was the offending package, 
just say no).

Frank and I are standardizing our development for gr and DttSP on this 
distro.  It was the most delightful time I've had to date installing and 
running.

Yes Matt, I know.  I do love to install.   Now if Altera would only 
release their tools for Linux.
