That?s a good point. Fedora comes with SELinux enabled now, correct?

You're not that far off topic actually. Stuff that works in Ubuntu
might work in Redhat (and vice versa).
But I know Unbuntu 9.10 was different at the time then Fedora - RedHat
was a big push for the horrors of systemctl, the network command stack
was (and still is) different.
Even so, there's been a big change since 2009 - systemctl among them.
As I stated, my printer that once worked in Fedora 20 but I haven't been
able to get it to work since 24 - it seems to be something in SELinux
because turning it off enabled it to communicate with the printer but
... I said heck with it and spun a windows 7 vm with a shared folder.
Things change. Oh well.

I want to second this. I'm using GPredict on an ASUS EeePC X101-CH
with 1GB of RAM and an Intel Atom CPU at 1.6GHz. I picked it up
second hand for about $65.
Those specs seem high but this is an underpowered little machine.
GPredict works really well. I even have a custom cron task to download
additional keps that aren't provided in GPredict itself.
Once you learn the oddities of its interface, it's really easy to use.

I will try to get on the 1447Z FO-29 Fixed 145.940 +/- QRM pass today
assuming the equipment holds up. Heat and Humidity have been tough on the
gear.
I tried to get on an FO29 pass the other evening but local storms caused S9
QRN!? Also many passes are on during social events and I have not been able
to get on the air at a convenient time.
July 3 - 6th: I will be on Little Cayman starting July 3rd in the evening. I
hope to squeeze a pass or two from FK09 during my stay, most likely the 4th
or 5th, in the afternoon or evening as I am will be diving in the morning. I
will check the passes later today to see what works best. Since the 13
colonies are active on FM satellites. I will most likely stick with linear
satellites.
The mosquitoes have been relentless this year. Even a heavy dose of DEET has
had mixed results and they carry West Nile. If the mosquito situation is too
intense, I may skip evening passes from Little Cayman.
July 7 - 8: I will be on the West End of Grand Cayman. Morning Diving and
afternoon swim. I may try a few evening passes, depending on mosquitoes and
weather.
Please note Cayman has been visited by several satellite operators over the
past few years and is not in big demand as in the past.? There is also a
local operator who is periodically active.
All operations are very casual, holiday style time permitting.
See you down the log.

As someone myself not into the FM Birds, I really have not paid any
attention to what is out there FM bird wise.
But this past Field Day we had this 14 year old kid stop in at our Field
Day site.
He's newly licensed Tech, ( January got his ticket ), He sat down in
front of the HF radio and listened for ohh ten minutes or so, we then
offered him a chance to run the logger.
And he did Great! We were running a Freq on 15 meters at the moment, and
then asked him if he would want to try getting on the radio, and he said
sure.
We explained the exchange and QSO pattern of what to say and when and
all that.
And said go for it!
He was Incredible! Almost from the start he was Running the Freq like a
veteran pro! The off freq SSB sigs never even fazed him at all. Even
pileups he handled perfectly. I was very impressed. For someone that has
never been on HF or even heard it before, it was like he was doing this
for decades!
He would "QRZed Field Day" And he'd grab a call out of the pile, never
write it down or anything and go back to them with the exchange and all
that. Monitoring the QSO rate meter, he for the two hours he played, he
was running an average 90 QSO's a hour rate! Incredible for someone that
has never ever been on HF ever before!
After he got off I talked to him a bunch and learned that he got his
license because he read someplace about Amateur Radio and how we can
talk through Satellites all our own.
Right now all he has is a Baeofeng BF-F8HP, so not much of a Sat radio
there,, BUT.... I want to give him a list of FM birds to at least
listen for, and Elmer him into some of the prediction software's and or
web pages.
But I need a list of active FM birds that I can suggest to him to listen
for.
Anyone?

through July 1, 2017.
Congratulations to all those who made the list this month!

This list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf

comparison so omissions are possible. Apologies if your
call was not mentioned. Thanks to all those who are
roving to grids that are rarely on the birds. They are
doing most of the work!

I regularly work SO-50 and AO-85 with my HT. It's a Yaesu FT-60R but
I've done it with a Baofeng UV5R as well. I use GPredict on Linux to
track the birds.
I think that some folks use heavens-above.com for this purpose. Along
with the entire AMSAT site, work-sat.com is relatively useful if you
can sift through the design. Their tutorial helps one get set up for
working SO-50: http://www.work-sat.com/Home_files/satbr-120616.pdf
It's tricky but he should be able to work SO-50 with a whip like those
from Nagoya, Comet, or Diamond. I'm not sure it'd be possible with the
ducky but maybe he could monitor one.
Good luck!
