PSKlive

If you're looking for a unique live distro that's specifically designed for the PSKmail project, look no further than PSKlive. This Linux distribution is meant to help hams try out the PSKmail system and is executed upon boot entirely from a boot media (such as a CD). This means that the hard drive of your PC is not affected and not even needed, making it a great way to try out new things and get started quickly.

Downloading the ISO is simple and once you've burned it onto a CD, you can boot your PC with it in the reader. There's no need to install anything on your PC. Everything is executed from the CD, so your PC is left untouched. If you wish to install PSKlive permanently on your PC, there is a live installer available.

But what is PSKmail? It's a narrow band mail delivery system for use by amateur radio hams via short wave communication. There's a wiki available where you can find more information on the project.

PSKlive is a remastered version of Mandriva 2007 Free edition that's inherited some of the nice work from the MCNlive project. If you're a ham looking to try out the PSKmail system, PSKlive is definitely worth a try.
