 If you’re undecided about what linux disto to use and you’re on some other hardware, //We recommend plain old Debian.// It’ll run smoothly on just about everything that isn’t in a museum. Just slap it on a USB stick using your OS’s disk imager of choice and let ‘er rip. It’s the DOOM of OS’s.

 ==== Directories ====
 We recommend setting up the software with these directories:

+Here the options passed to direwolf are as follows:
+''-a 10'' tells it to report audio levels every 10 seconds, regardless of receiving a packet.
+''-q d'' suppresses messages when decoding APRS packets.
+''-t 0'' disables the text colors, as Direwolf's default is very colorful and can mess up standard terminal colors used elsewhere when it exits incorrectly.
+''-c ...'' tells Direwolf which configuration file to use.  Omitting this will cause it to look for a default file.
