Scan for system updates sudo apt-get update.For example in the first line select the text sudo apt-get update Cut and paste these commands into the Terminal session and run each line on it's own before advancing to the next line. Once the system is booted I went straight to the Terminal program and the command line.At the end of the Linux Lite installation, I shut down the system and removed the USB flash drive (or DVD) and then powered on the system on the newly installed Linux Lite.On the user/password screen, I set the account to log in automatically for convenience.On the partition screen, I said to wipe the drive and replace the contents with Linux Lite.All the installation setup screens are common sense and the default options were chosen most of the time.

I booted the target PC (my old Acer) from the USB flash drive and installed Linux Lite.You may also burn the image to a DVD if you prefer that method and your intended target PC has a DVD drive. Using tools like 'Balena Etcher' or 'Rufus' flash the downloaded linux ISO to a USB flash drive creating bootable installation media for the PC.From another PC download the ISO image of the latest version of Linux Lite.adjust time forward or back to explore gray line location, satellite orbits etc.show Moon rise/set and overhead passes for EME.live RSS feeds from popular ham related web sites.live NCDXF beacon location, time and frequency schedule.live solar images from Solar Dynamics Observatory.local weather, time, grid square, prefix and sun rise/set times at any DX location.Satellite and ISS tracking and display next satellite rise/set times and overhead pass (not just global track).short and long path antenna beam heading and distance to any DX location.trend plots and predictions for solar flux, sunspot, XRay and Kp index.OACAP predictions for any path at several power levels.Moon phases as seen from the earth surface.Toggle Lat/Long map grid, or Tropics, or none.Mercator or Azimuthal map view with grayline.Screen lock so preferred setting are not changed by accident.Internet synced UTC clock with hours, minutes and seconds as well as DST on/off.Operators callsign (with control of color scheme for alphanumeric text and background).Maybe if they charged $49.99 for the program, or even $99.99 for it and you supply your own hardware (which is really all they are doing, providing you a store bought Mini Stick PC), it would be worth it, but to charge a $253 premium for their software and hardware that anyone can buy PLUS $6.99 a month is a bit much. Granted the GeoChron software is MUCH more polished, but they are flat out gouging you of the hardware. for $40 more money, you can get the same thing with double the memory and storage) and run Simon's program. Quad core CPU, 4GB memory, 64GB storage, network and dual band WiFi, and Windows 10. Simon's is a great little free program, I sometimes run it on my 4K computer monitor, but I may see about what appears to be the exact same hardware they are selling for $450 for $197 off Amazon (. I have the HamClock on my desk running off a Raspberry Pi and it's pretty cool (I think all told I spent about $100 to build it, including the Pi, the stand, and the display).
