Best GR-friendly Linux distro ... Ubuntu won!

GNU Radio
1

Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty seems to be more GR-friendly than
others, I tried it well and everything works fine, but
can’t find USB info from “lsusb” or “/proc/bus/usb”!
any ideas?

To install just follow wiki guides at:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/UbuntuInstall

For lazy ones, with source just prepare the following:
#apt-get -y install g++ automake libtool python-dev
fftw3-dev libcppunit-dev libboost-dev sdcc libusb-dev
libasound2-dev libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8
subversion guile-1.8 libqt3-mt-dev python-numpy-ext
swig

Then:
#./configure
#make
#make install

Alternatively, there are binary and source packages in
the Debian repository format at:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/DebianPackages

Add this repoz:
deb http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu stable main contrib
deb-src http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu stable main

Then:
#apt-get install gnuradio usrp

I would just like to point out that GNU Radio and related tools will
be available for Fedora 9 when it is released at the end of april.
Hopefully these packages will be backported to F8, which makes Fedora
a GR-friendly distribution.

Yay! Small correction:

GNU Radio is also available for F-8, but is currently only available
in the testing repository. Depending in the amount of feedback it
receives it will be moved to the stable repository within the next
week (faster if positive feedback is received).

You can easily submit feedback here:
