Personally, I'd be grateful that someone has a repository at all for amateur 
radio software, and I wouldn't suggest asking for ubuntu only software on an 
open-suse listserve.

I think it does say something about the willingness of the open-suse community 
to support amateur radio software and a discussion listserve about it.

Perhaps the ubuntu hams are too busy, because they could have added a ham 
radio repository and listserve years ago. 

Rather than choose a specific distribution, though, it would reach the most 
linux hams if new software came out in two variants - an rpm version that 
could be used for opensuse, red hat, fedora, mandriva and other rpm distros 
and debian which could be used for mint, (currently the #1 distro), ubuntu 
and other debian based distros.
