Linux Aviation HOWTO

v1.4, 14 Oct 2000


This document is intended to provide pointers to software packages that run under the Linux operating system and are useful to private, commercial, or military pilots. The ultimate goal is to enable pilots to use the Linux operating system for all their aviation related computing needs, totally eliminating the need for other operating systems. I want to encourage pilots who are already using Linux to contribute to this document, either by providing pointers to existing software, or by writing new applications for Linux.
