Re: linux distro with GNU Radio preinstalled?

[Kristoff]

Derek, Sid,


Sid,

Thanks. Looks like a good starting-point. thx :-)



Derek,

That is true, but I want to focus the workshop in GNU Radio itself, not 
on how-to-install-GNU-Radio :-)

So I prefer something where everything is already pre-installed and that 
the user just needs to do two things: 1/ configure his/her keyboard, 2/ 
"click on the GNU Radio Companion icon on your desktop".
Most of these people (with a few exceptions) are complete new to both 
GNU Radio and linux, and I do not want to scare them away by demanding 
they also need to learn linux.


BTW.
Somebody replied offlist mentioning sigintos. That's also an interesting 
option.
(I do know one of the people who wants to learn GNU Radio for cybersecurity)
